Introduction About ELECTRAL ORANGE LIQUID
Electral Delicious Orange Flavour belongs to oral rehydration salts (ORS) which is used to replenish water and essential electrolytes. It is also used to lessen stool output and vomiting. It contains electrolytes like sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate and dextrose which are important to maintain normal fluid balance in the body.
It hydrates the body and restores the lost electrolytes during conditions which involves excessive loss of fluid like loose motions or vomiting. ORS helps to manage dehydration and lowers the need for hospitalization.
Dextrose or glucose is the main ingredient of ORS. It facilitates the absorption of sodium and water in the small intestine. Sodium and potassium are required as replacement of these essential ions during diarrhoea and vomiting. Citrate corrects the excess acid levels that occurs due to diarrhoea.
Electral Delicious Orange Flavour is a ready-to-drink product to ensure patient compliance and offer convenience. It should be used with caution in patients with depressed kidney function, severe continuing diarrhea, or other critical fluid losses.
