Product Description
Prolyte ORS Salt Lime Sachets provide a balanced mix of glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate, and citric acid to treat and prevent dehydration caused by diarrhoea, vomiting, excessive sweating, or heat exposure. The reduced osmolarity formulation (245 mOsm/L when prepared) is clinically proven to reduce stool output and vomiting duration compared to older ORS formulas. The refreshing lime flavour encourages fluid intake, especially in children, while the glucose facilitates sodium and water absorption in the intestines. Safe for all ages, including infants, and suitable for travellers or during illness outbreaks.
