PUMC’s oral rehydration salts is formulated to adhere to WHO/UNICEF’s current specifications.
PUMC’s reduced osmolarity oral rehydration solution (ORS) of salts and sugars is administered to patients suffering from severe dehydration resulting from diarrhea and vomiting.
WHO/UNICEF data indicates that this improved formulation, when compared to standard ORS, reduces stool volume by 25%, and vomiting by 30% in children with acute diarrhea.
The reduced osmolarity also allows for more efficient combination therapy for diarrhea when administered concurrently with the Lactèol Fort probiotic product.
