What experts have to say

Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is the key to recovery! To stay safe and hydrated, always choose the WHO-approved ORS solutions.

"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."

"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."

"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."

"In cases of acute gastroenteritis or loose stools, people often resort to antibiotics, which is not recommended. I urge everyone to start with Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) as the primary treatment for diarrhoea."

"Diarrhoea is the third-most common cause of mortality in children <5 years of age with 7.3% of children experiencing this illness. WHO ORS solution is recommended as the first-line treatment for mild-to-moderate dehydration in both adults and children. However, we continue to see reconstitution errors when mixing powdered ORS by caregivers or poor taste compliance restricting ORS usage by parents. RTD ORS provides an effective solution to address diarrheal dehydration with solutions meeting WHO criteria along with convenience, accurate dosing, and improved taste."
