Fruity/Tasty ORS is used to restore fluid and electrolyte balance caused by diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration.
Indications

- Dehydration

Pharmacology
Potassium chloride is a major cation of the intracellular fluid. Sodium chloride is the major extracellular cation important in electrolyte and fluid balance. Sodium bicarbonate raises blood and urinary pH by dissociation to provide bicarbonate ions, which neutralises the hydrogen ion concentration. Dextrose and fructose act as sources of energy and enhance sodium and water absorption from the intestine.
