INTRODUCTION ABOUT ORS(RANBAXY) ORANGE FLAVOUR LIQUID
Ranbaxy ORS Liquid Orange Flavour belongs to oral rehydration salts (ORS) which is used to replenish water and essential electrolytes. It is also used to reduce stool output and vomiting. It contains electrolytes like sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate and dextrose which are important to maintaining normal fluid balance in the body.
It hydrates the body and restores the lost electrolytes during conditions which involve excessive fluid loss like loose motions or vomiting. ORS helps to manage dehydration and lowers the need for hospitalization.
Dextrose or glucose is the primary ingredient of ORS. It eases the absorption of sodium and water in the small intestine. Sodium and potassium are required to replace these essential ions during diarrhoea and vomiting. Citrate corrects the excess acid levels that occur because of diarrhoea.
Ranbaxy ORS Liquid 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 diarrhoea, or other critical fluid losses.
