STOP! Are you using the right rehydration drink? ?
This short, essential guide from Samprada Multi Speciality Hospital breaks down the critical difference between the standard
ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) and
the commercial variant, ORSL.
Knowing which one to use can make a huge difference in managing dehydration for you or your family, especially if dealing with vomiting or severe diarrhea.
What's the difference?
WHO ORS: The gold standard! This formula is specifically designed by the World Health Organization. It contains precise amounts of Glucose, Sodium, and Potassium to ensure maximum water and electrolyte absorption for medical dehydration (like from gastroenteritis). Ideal for Diarrhea/Vomiting.
ORSL & Commercial Drinks: These are a commercial mix of ORS + extra nutrients like Zinc, Magnesium, and Vitamins. While great for general weakness or energy, they may not be ideal for acute medical dehydration if they don't follow the exact WHO formula.
