ELECTRAL 21.80POW 20GM

About

ELECTRAL 21.80POW 20GM is an oral rehydration salt (ORS) formulation designed to replenish fluids and electrolytes lost due to dehydration. It contains a balanced blend of glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium citrate, which are essential for maintaining the body's fluid balance and proper cellular function. This formulation is crucial in managing and preventing dehydration caused by conditions such as acute diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, or other illnesses that lead to significant fluid loss. The glucose component facilitates the absorption of sodium and water in the small intestine, ensuring rapid rehydration.

The precise composition of ELECTRAL 21.80POW adheres to WHO guidelines for ORS, making it highly effective in restoring electrolyte balance and preventing the progression of dehydration, particularly in vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. Its mechanism involves osmotic action, drawing water into the bloodstream along with the electrolytes, thereby correcting imbalances and supporting overall physiological stability during periods of fluid depletion.
