Potassium Chloride + Rice Powder (Pregelatineized) + Sodium Chloride + Sodium Citrate

Acute fluid and electrolyte loss conditions such as cholera, acute diarrhoea & vomiting, Dehydration, Severely low concentrations of salts in the blood (severe electrolyte depletion)

This contains essential electrolytes & carbohydrate (in the form of processed rice) which are vital for a dehydrating patient in conditions such as cholera, acute diarrhoea, vomiting & excessive sweating.

In the normal healthy intestine, there is a continuous exchange of water through the intestinal wall - up to 20 liters of water is secreted and very nearly as much is reabsorbed every 24 hours - this mechanism allows the absorption of soluble metabolites from digested food into the bloodstream.

In a state of diarrheal disease the balance is upset and much more water is secreted than is reabsorbed causing a net loss to the body which can be as high as several liters a day. In addition to water, Chloride ion (CI-), extracellular sodium ion (Na+) & intracellular potassium ion (K+) are also lost. This is effectively replenishes the lost electrolytes in the body.

Dose depends on the severity of the dehydrating conditions of the patients. Age Recommended Dose after each watery stool:

• 6 months to 2 years: 50 ml to 100 ml (10 to 20 Teaspoonfuls)
• 2 years to 9 years: 100 ml to 200 ml (20 to 40 teaspoonfuls)
• 10 years and above: 250 ml to 500 ml (1 to 2 glassfuls)
