Oral Rehydration Solution
for Gastroenteritis
ORS is the most important treatment for gastroenteritis to prevent dehydration. Available as Hydralyte or Gastrolyte sachets.
How it works
Glucose-sodium co-transport maximises fluid and electrolyte absorption even during active diarrhoea and vomiting.
What to watch for
Sip slowly if vomiting. Do not use sports drinks as a substitute. Make fresh if using sachets.
