W.H.O Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) solution, a mixture of clean water, salt, and sugar, is the primary treatment for diarrhoea. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), It helps lost fluids and electrolytes preventing dehydration and further complications due to dehydration.
The WHO estimates that ORS alone can prevent up to 93 per cent of diarrhoea-related deaths.
According to the Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science, even with treatment, 85 per cent of the time, improper mixing of ORS powder with water can reduce its efficacy.
The WHO states that Reduced Osmolarity ORS can: reduce hospitalisations by 33 per cent; reduce vomiting by 30 per cent, and reduce stool output by 20 per cent
- Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is the key to recovery! To stay safe and hydrated, always choose the WHO-approved ORS solutions."
Dr Sanjiv KumarPediatrics, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh - "Diarrhoea is a common health concern in India, especially among children aged 1 to 5 years, and has historically led to a significant number of deaths. However, with the introduction of Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), these fatalities have drastically declined. Diarrhoea depletes essential body fluids and salts, and ORS helps replenish them, making it a crucial tool in both treatment and prevention."
Dr MohantyPediatrician, Mumbai, Maharashtra - "Diarrhoea is manageable as long as it is treated with Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). Keeping your child hydrated is essential, and antibiotics are usually not required for treatment."
Dr Jagdish ChandraSenior Pediatrician, Hyderabad - "Diarrhoea can be of three types—viral, bacterial, or antibiotic-induced. The simple and effective solution is Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), which helps restore lost electrolytes and keeps the body hydrated."
