Care Plus Oral Rehydration Salt Kids

Care Plus O.R.S. is used in dehydration to replenish the loss of water, sugars and salts. Everyone is at risk of accelerated fluid loss, which can result in dehydration. Children and the elderly (seniors) are at increased risk. 

Water alone is often not enough. The intestines need sugars and salts to absorb sufficient fluids in the body. It is important that you not only use the O.R.S. solution, but also try to drink extra. Even if drinking is difficult, it is important to keep trying. Sometimes it helps to drink small amounts often because the chance that you keep more fluid down is greater. ORS also promotes fluid absorption during physical exertion.

• Restore moisture and salt balance with O.R.S.
  Dehydration can occur in anyone and good hydration is therefore very important. A human body consists of about 90% water. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluid than it takes in. You can lose fluid during illness, but also during physical exertion such as sports, after excessive sweating or after a visit to the toilet. Dehydration may sound harmless, but it can also be very dangerous! It is therefore important to quickly restore body fluids and moisture and salt levels.

• The correct ratio of minerals (salts) and glucose (sugar) facilitates the absorption of water by the intestines. Glucose attaches to the intestinal wall and acts as a catalyst to absorb needed minerals into the body more efficiently, drawing water with it. This will increase the moisture content in the body.Care Plus® O.R.S. is a glucose-salt preparation with the right balance in composition for faster absorption of fluid in the body. Always have an O.R.S. bag at hand, such as in your bathroom cabinet, toiletry bag, sports bag and glove compartment.
