VSAAR-ORS


The primary therapeutic role of ORS solutions is in prevention and treatment of dehydration may cause by diarrhea and vomiting. Oral rehydration salts (ORS) are a mixture of electrolytes (salts), and carbohydrates (in the form of sugar), which are dissolved in water.
They are used to replace salts and water that the body loses when you have dehydration caused by gastroenteritis, diarrhoea, or vomiting.

  • Diarrhoea
  • Dehydration

Potassium-

Human body contains 60% of water and out of which 40% of is Intracellular fluid and 60% is Extracellular fluid. Potassium is the major ion of intracellular fluid and help in maintaining the hydration of cell. Potassium is also important for nerve conduction as it moment around the membrane helps in changing the voltage and creates an impulse. It also helps in muscle contraction.

Sodium-

Sodium is very important component of extracellular fluid and has numerous functions which includes nerve conduction, muscle contraction, cardiac functioning. It also helps in regulating the blood volume to about 5 liters approximately.

Chloride-

Ion is a chlorine anion that forms the negatively charged part of certain salts, including sodium and hydrogen chloride salts, and is an essential electrolyte located in all body fluids responsible for maintaining acid/base balance, transmitting nerve impulses and regulating fluid in and out of cells.

Dextrose-

It is also known D-glucose which is a monosaccharide considered as the simplest form of sugar. It is the simplest source of energy in cell function, and the regulation of its metabolism is of great importance. During the dehydrated condition, body is deprived of energy which is fulfilled by glucose and helps in maintain the normal functioning of the body.
  • Mild nausea and vomiting may occur when consumed in large quantity.
  • Alkalosis (rare)
