Orsalit Senior 10 Sachets
Advanced oral rehydration therapy specifically formulated for the unique needs of the elderly.
Category: Dietary Food for Special Medical Purposes / Rehydration
Purpose: Restoring fluid and electrolyte balance during diarrhea, vomiting, or high fever.
What It Is
Orsalit Senior is a specialized rehydration drink (Oral Rehydration Salts – ORS) designed to prevent dehydration and its complications in older adults. As we age, the sensation of thirst often diminishes, and the body’s ability to maintain water-electrolyte balance becomes more fragile. Orsalit Senior uses a precise hypotonic formula (reduced osmolarity) that follows the latest international guidelines, ensuring the most efficient absorption of water and minerals through the intestinal wall.
✅ Key Benefits
-
Rapid Hydration: The specific ratio of glucose to electrolytes triggers the “sodium-glucose co-transport” mechanism, pulling water into the bloodstream faster than plain water.
-
Elderly-Focused Formula: Unlike standard rehydration salts, the mineral concentrations are adjusted to be safer and more effective for the senior metabolism.
-
Electrolyte Recovery: Replenishes essential Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride lost through illness or excessive sweating.
-
Energy Boost: Contains a small, controlled amount of glucose to provide a quick energy source without spiking blood sugar excessively.
-
Neutral or Mild Flavor: Often formulated with a subtle taste (such as raspberry or lemon) to encourage intake even when the patient feels nauseous.
Use & Dosage
-
Preparation: Dissolve the contents of 1 sachet in 200 ml of lukewarm, boiled water.
-
Administration: The solution should be sipped slowly in small portions. It is most effective when chilled, though room temperature is also acceptable.
-
Phase 1 (Rehydration): Within the first 3–4 hours, the patient should consume enough liquid to replace estimated losses (usually 3–8 sachets, depending on body weight and severity).
-
Phase 2 (Maintenance): After rehydration, continue giving the solution after every loose stool or episode of vomiting.
-
Important: Do not sweeten the solution or mix it with juices/milk, as this changes the osmolarity and reduces effectiveness.
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
-
Medical Supervision: This product should be used under medical supervision, especially for seniors with heart or kidney conditions.
-
Contraindications: Not suitable for individuals with intestinal obstruction, hemodynamic shock, or severe renal failure.
-
Store in a dry place at room temperature. Once dissolved, the solution can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
