What happens if you drink ORS everyday?
When used improperly, an ORS can lead to salt toxicity. This is more likely to happen if you drink an ORS when you don't actually need it. If you've had a lot of diarrhea or vomiting, speak with a doctor first. They can determine if you need an oral rehydration solution or if drinks like water are sufficient.
Can ORS be taken daily?
It is not recommended that normally hydrated persons drink OS-1 on a daily basis to keep themselves hydrated. OS-1 contains more electrolytes such as sodium and potassium than ordinary drinks. Patients with hypertension and decreased renal functions should consult with their doctors before use.
What are the benefits of ORS to the body?
Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) are used to treat dehydration caused by diarrhea, a common illness in travellers. Unlike other fluids, the ratio of the ingredients in an ORS matches what the body needs to recover from a diarrheal illness.
How many ORS can we drink in a day?
Adults and large children should drink at least 3 quarts or liters of ORS a day until they are well. If you are vomiting, continue to try to drink the ORS.
