Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) are a simple, cost-effective, and essential treatment used to prevent and treat dehydration, particularly due to diarrhea. ORS typically contains a precise mixture of glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and trisodium citrate or bicarbonate. This formulation helps the body absorb water and essential electrolytes more efficiently through the intestinal lining. The World Health Organization (WHO) has promoted ORS as a life-saving intervention, especially in children, and it is considered one of the most important medical advances of the 20th century. ORS is widely used in both healthcare facilities and at home to manage dehydration caused by conditions like cholera, acute gastroenteritis, and other gastrointestinal diseases. It is available in sachets that can be mixed with clean water, and in some cases, ready-to-drink solutions. ORS is especially critical in low-resource settings where access to intravenous fluids may be limited. By restoring the body’s fluid balance, ORS can significantly reduce the risk of complications from dehydration and save lives, especially among vulnerable populations such as infants and the elderly.
