Peditral (Orange) 25 Sachets

Peditral is an oral rehydration solution (ORS) designed to restore fluids and electrolytes. It typically contains a balanced mixture of essential electrolytes to aid in absorption and provide energy. The formulation is crafted to match the body's needs, ensuring rapid hydration and replenishment of lost salts.

Electrolyte

This nutritional supplement is used for:

• Dehydration management
• Electrolyte replenishment
• Fluid restoration
• Recovery support

Peditral dosage recommendations are:

• Dissolve the contents of one sachet in 200 to 250 ml of clean, drinking water. Stir well until fully dissolved.

The signs and symptoms that are produced after the acute overdosage of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) include Severe vomiting, Mucositis, Diarrhea, Severe myelosuppression, Hyperkalemia, Hypernatremia. Iso-osmotic overload is managed by restricting intake of sodium, potassium, and water. Additionally, treatment includes measures to increase renal excretion of sodium, potassium, and water, often achieved through the use of loop diuretics. These diuretics enhance renal elimination of these substances, helping to address the overload and restore balance.

If you miss a dose, continue with the next dose as scheduled. Do not take extra to make up for a missed dose.

Dissolve sachet in the recommended amount of water as per instructions. Drink as needed to rehydrate.
