Composition

Each sachet of Acme's ORS Powder (10.25 gm) contains a balanced mixture of:

• Glucose (anhydrous)

• Sodium Chloride

• Potassium Chloride

• Trisodium Citrate

The formulation is designed to be dissolved in a specified amount of clean drinking water to prepare an oral rehydration solution suitable for all age groups.

Therapeutic Class

• Oral rehydration therapy

• Electrolyte and fluid replenisher

Indications

Acme's ORS Powder is indicated for:

• Prevention and treatment of dehydration due to acute and chronic diarrhea

• Fluid and electrolyte replacement in vomiting

• Rehydration during fever and heat exhaustion

• Fluid loss associated with excessive sweating

• Supportive management of dehydration in children, adults, and the elderly

It is suitable for use at home, during travel, and in healthcare settings.

Mechanism of Action

Acme's ORS Powder works through the glucose-sodium co-transport mechanism in the small intestine. Glucose enhances the absorption of sodium, and water follows sodium passively, resulting in efficient rehydration even during active diarrhea.

The electrolytes help restore normal levels of sodium, potassium, and citrate in the body, correcting metabolic imbalances and preventing complications of dehydration such as weakness, dizziness, and electrolyte disturbances.

Directions for Use

Dissolve the contents of one sachet of Acme's ORS Powder in the recommended volume of clean, boiled, and cooled drinking water as directed on the pack. Stir well until completely dissolved. The prepared solution should be consumed within 24 hours if kept covered, and unused solution should be discarded thereafter.

ORS should be taken in small, frequent sips, especially in children and patients with ongoing fluid loss.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use only the recommended amount of water; concentrated solutions may be harmful.

• Do not add sugar or salt to the prepared solution.

• Not a substitute for intravenous fluids in severe dehydration.

• Patients with severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, or worsening symptoms should seek immediate medical care.
