✔️ How ORSaline-N works?

Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, dextrose, and sodium citrate are the four medications that makeup DEXTROSE+POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CITRATE. For the treatment or prevention of dehydration, DEXTROSE+POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CITRATE is utilized. (too much loss of body water). It's listed as a source of calories, water, and electrolytes. Replace the fluids and minerals lost as a result of vomiting or diarrhea with DEXTROSE+POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CITRATE. thus aids in the treatment and prevention of dehydration.

✔️ Pharmacology

Oral rehydration salts are given orally to prevent or treat dehydration due to acute diarrhea. Essential water and salts are lost in stools and vomiting, and dehydration results when blood volume is decreased because of fluid loss from the extracellular fluid compartment. Preservation of the facilitated glucose-sodium co-transport system in the small-bowel mucosa is the rationale of oral rehydration therapy. Glucose is actively absorbed in the normal intestine and carries sodium with it in about an equimolar ratio. Therefore, there is a greater net absorption of an isotonic salt solution with glucose than one without it.

Potassium replacement during acute diarrhea prevents below-normal serum concentrations of potassium, especially in children, in whom stool potassium losses are higher than in adults. Bicarbonates are effective in correcting the metabolic acidosis caused by diarrhea and dehydration.
