Electral – Oral Rehydration Salts – 4.40 gm (Pack of 20)

• Electral is a mixture of electrolytes (salts), and carbohydrates (in the form of sugar), which are dissolved in water.
• Glucose facilitates the absorption of sodium (and water) on a 1:1 molar basis in the small intestine.
• Sodium and potassium are electrolytes that are needed to replace the fluid loss that occurs due to diarrhoea and vomiting.
• Citrate corrects the acidosis that occurs as a result of diarrhoea.
• Used to replace salts and water that the body loses when you have dehydration caused by gastroenteritis, diarrhoea, or vomiting.
• Unlike other fluids, the proportion of salts and sugar in an Electral ORS matches what the body needs to recover.
