Super ORS

Q101 marksShort Answers

Answer

Super ORS (reduced-osmolarity oral rehydration solution) is a modified WHO-ORS formulation with a lower concentration of glucose and sodium than the original ORS, which has been shown to reduce stool output, vomiting, and the need for IV fluids in acute diarrhoea, without an increased risk of hyponatraemia, while retaining equal efficacy in correcting dehydration.
