Oral Rehydration Salts · WHO 2002 Formula
WHO guidelines. All of them. Lemon flavour. ReHydra is what ORS should have always been.
Not just another Electral. The WHO updated the formula in 2002. We followed it.
Better formula than Electral. Save ₹250. Delivered home.
When you're dehydrated, plain water doesn't replace what you've lost. Most ORS brands still use the 1984 formula — higher osmolarity than blood plasma, slower absorption. The WHO fixed this in 2002. Most brands didn't follow.
Below blood plasma. Absorbs faster.
⬡ WHO updated 2002Pre-measured. One sachet, one glass. Done.
🍋 Lemon flavourWHO-specified ratios. Not approximated.
Every ORS guideline. All met. No exceptions.
✓ All 8 confirmedORS is for any dehydration. If you're losing sodium and potassium, plain water won't fix it.
ORS works because sodium activates a co-transporter in your intestinal wall that pulls water into the bloodstream. The WHO discovered that reducing osmolarity below plasma level makes absorption measurably faster — and updated the standard in 2002.
8 guidelines for oral rehydration therapy. All 8 followed. Not interpreted — followed.
The WHO 2002 low-osmolarity formula in a single 5g sachet. Lemon flavour that goes down even when nothing else will.
What you're paying for, line by line.
All ORS brands follow the same WHO 2002 specification. Glucose-only drinks like Glucon-D are not a substitute during diarrhoea or vomiting.
No jargon. Just what you'd ask a pharmacist.
One sachet dissolved in 250 ml of clean drinking water — about one full glass. Stir until clear and drink within 24 hours of mixing.
Never make it stronger by using less water; the salt-to-water ratio is what makes the formula work.
Haan, ORS bachhon ke liye safe hai — actually specially designed for them. Under 2 years: small sips every few minutes, total 50–100 ml after each loose stool. Over 2 years: 100–200 ml after each episode.
Agar baccha 6 mahine se chhota hai ya 24 ghante mein improvement nahi hai — doctor ko zaroor dikhayein.
Same WHO 2002 low-osmolarity formula — 245 mOsm/L, identical salt composition. Chemistry wahi hai jo global standard hai.
Farak yeh hai: lemon flavour jo nausea mein bhi actually peene laayak hai, aur monthly pack pe up to ₹250 ki bachat.
Rehydron aur Walyte bhi WHO low-osmolarity formula follow karte hain — clinically equivalent maaniye. Sab ka kaam ek hi hai.
ReHydra mein lemon flavour better balance hai (kam meetha, kam namkeen), aur bulk packs pe pricing aksar 20-30% kam padti hai. Final choice taste aur availability pe depend karta hai.
Nahi. Glucon-D, Tang, Rasna — yeh sirf glucose drinks hain. Inmein electrolytes (sodium, potassium, citrate) bilkul nahi ya bahut kam hote hain.
Acute dehydration (diarrhoea ya vomiting) mein Glucon-D madad nahi karta — aur situation worsen kar sakta hai. ORS hi proper medical solution hai.
Turant doctor dikhayein agar in mein se kuch bhi ho:
ORS hydration karta hai lekin underlying cause treat nahi karta. 48 ghante se zyada diarrhoea ho toh check karwana zaroori hai.
Different purposes. Gatorade sports drink hai — high sugar, low electrolytes, designed for athletes doing 60+ min intense activity.
Liquid IV ek premium ORS-style drink hai (similar science), lekin 3-4× zyada mehenga aur Indian markets mein limited availability. ReHydra same WHO formula deliver karta hai — medical-grade, ₹9.98 per sachet pe.
Nahi. Sugar, namak, ya nimbu daalne se osmolarity change ho jaati hai aur formula kaam nahi karta — dehydration aur badh sakti hai, especially bachhon mein.
ReHydra mein already lemon flavour hai. Agar taste phir bhi mushkil ho, dheere-dheere sip karein ya thanda karke piyein.
Yes — ORS is excellent for heat exhaustion, post-exercise rehydration, hangovers, and travel fatigue. The electrolyte balance recovers what plain water can't.
For daily fitness use, one sachet post-workout is usually enough. Not a sports drink replacement for high-sugar energy needs.
WHO 2002 formula. Lemon flavour. ₹9.98 per sachet.
