About

Electral Powder is an essential oral rehydration salt (ORS) formulation designed to effectively combat and prevent dehydration. It contains a precisely balanced mixture of glucose and key electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, chloride, and citrate. This specific composition facilitates the rapid absorption of water and electrolytes in the small intestine, helping to restore the body's fluid balance.
