ORS POWDER PROLYTE

Prolyte ORS from Cipla is an oral rehydration salts powder based on the WHO-recommended formula. Each sachet blends dextrose with essential electrolytes — sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium citrate — to quickly replace fluids lost from the body.

• Rehydration during diarrhoea or vomiting
• Fluid loss from heat, sweating or exertion
• Restoring the body's salt-and-water balance
• Easing the weakness and fatigue of dehydration

The precise glucose-to-salt ratio helps the gut absorb water and electrolytes rapidly — much faster than plain water alone during dehydration.

Dissolve the powder in clean drinking water (boiled and cooled if unsure) exactly as directed on the sachet. Stir well and sip through the day. Use the prepared solution within 24 hours and discard the rest.

• Generally very safe when mixed correctly
• Wrong dilution or overuse can upset the body's salt balance

See a doctor promptly for severe or persistent dehydration, especially in young children. Ask a doctor first if there is kidney disease or a suspected intestinal blockage. Do not exceed the recommended amounts.

Store sachets below 25°C in a dry place, away from children. Refrigerate prepared solution and discard after 24 hours.
