Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS)

Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) are specially prepared drinks designed to quickly replace fluids and essential electrolytes lost during diarrhea, vomiting, or severe sweating. They contain a balanced mix of water, salts (such as sodium and potassium), and sugars (like glucose), which help the body absorb fluids efficiently and restore important mineral levels. Using ORS is a proven, effective way to prevent dehydration, especially in children and vulnerable populations, and is often used alongside medical treatment to promote quick recovery from illnesses that cause fluid loss.
