Electral Orange belongs to oral rehydration salts (ORS) which is used to replenish water and essential electrolytes. It is also used to decrease stool output and vomiting. It contains electrolytes like sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate and anhydrous dextrose which are essential to maintain normal fluid balance in the body.
It hydrates the body and replenishes the lost electrolytes during conditions which involves excessive fluid loss like loose motions or vomiting. ORS helps manage dehydration and reduces the need for hospitalization.
Anhydrous dextrose or glucose is the primary ingredient of ORS. It facilitates the absorption of sodium and water in the small intestine. Sodium and potassium chloride are needed as replacement of these essential ions during diarrhoea and vomiting. Sodium citrate corrects the excess acid levels that occurs because of diarrhoea.
Dissolve the contents of Electral orange in 200ml of drinking water. Use only the recommended dilutions and do not add extra water, as it may interfere with the dilutions. If any of the prepared solution is left within 24 hours of reconstitution, discard it.
Electral Orange can be combined with other parenteral fluids if you experience prolonged diarrhoea or other forms of severe fluid loss. It should be used with caution in patients having depressed kidney function.
