REHYDRON OPTIM 20 sachets, to restore fluid and salt loss. Regidron

Description

REHYDRON OPTIM 20 sachets, Prevention of dehydration (associated with mild diarrhoea)
REHYDRON OPTIM is indicated:
- in the treatment of mild to moderate fluid loss caused by acute diarrhea (to restore fluid and salt loss)
- for the prevention of dehydration.
In acute diarrhea, there is a risk of dehydration (loss of salt and water). Rehydron Optim solution restores the loss of water and salts in case of common diarrhea. The sugar contained in the preparation promotes the absorption of water and sodium in the intestines, and citrate corrects violations of the acid-base balance in the body.
Make sure that you mix the Rehydron Optim powder with the correct amount of water (0.5 litres) to
ensure optimal efficacy of the product in the treatment of fluid imbalance. Mixing the powder with an insufficient amount of water may result in excessive salt intake. Do not mix the Rehydron Optim powder with fluids other than water.
Active ingredients per sachet:
6.75 g of anhydrous glucose, 1.30 g of sodium chloride, 1.45 g of sodium citrate and 0.75 g of potassium chloride.
How to take the product:
The Rehydron Optim solution is administered orally.
Dissolve the contents of one packet of Regidron Optima in 0.5 liters of warm water.
If you are nauseous or vomit, refrigerate the solution and administer it in small, repeated doses using e.g. a teaspoon, a syringe, or a dosing cup. After this, you may gradually increase the dose according to your tolerance.
Taking the medicine with food and drink
- Other fluids (e.g. diluted juice) can also be given during the treatment. However, fluids with a
high sugar content should be avoided as they may worsen the diarrhoea.
- Rehydron Optim solution is not intended as a thirst-quencher, and the recommended doses should not be exceeded without medical advice.
