Mode of actions

Oral rehydration salts are a type of rehydration salt that is taken orally to prevent or treat dehydration caused by acute diarrhea. Dehydration occurs when blood volume is reduced due to fluid loss from the extracellular fluid compartment, as essential water and salts are lost in stools and vomitus. The rationale for oral rehydration therapy is to preserve the facilitated glucose-sodium cotransport mechanism in the small intestinal mucosa. In the typical gut, glucose is actively absorbed and transports sodium in an equimolar ratio.

As a result, an isotonic salt solution with glucose has a higher net absorption than one without. Potassium replenishment during acute diarrhea avoids below-normal potassium serum values, particularly in children, who have larger stool potassium losses than adults. The metabolic acidosis induced by diarrhea and dehydration can be effectively corrected with bicarbonates.

Dosage & Administration

Children less than 2 years: After each loose stool or vomiting 10 to 20 spoonful (50-100 ml).
Children 2 to 10 years: After each loose stool or vomiting 100-200 ml of prepared oral saline.
Adult and children above 10 years: After each loose stool or vomiting 200-400 ml of prepared saline.
