Description of New Electrobion Powder
New Electrobion Powder is a WHO-recommended oral rehydration salt formula containing a combination of dextrose and essential electrolytes like sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium citrate. Anhydrous dextrose or glucose is the ORS' primary ingredient, which facilitates sodium and water absorption in the small intestine. The electrolyte powder helps restore body fluids and electrolytes which get lost due to dehydration caused by diarrhoea, vomiting, muscle cramping, and heat during exercising or hot weather.

Q. How does drinking ORS help the body?
Drinking ORS replenishes the lost electrolytes in the body and provides energy. It helps prevent and reduce dehydration.
Q. When should ORS be used?
ORS should be used in cases of dehydration caused by: Acute diarrhoea, Vomiting, or Heat-related dehydration, after rigorous physical activity leading to significant fluid loss
Q. Are there any side effects of ORS?
