Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Oral Rehydration salts.
Oral rehydration salts are a fluid replacement that prevents and treats dehydration, especially dehydration due to diarrhea. Oral rehydration therapy can decrease the risk of death from diarrhea significantly. Oral rehydration salts are less invasive than any other method of oral rehydration therapy.
Oral rehydration salts are a glucose and electrolyte solution. Sodium and glucose transport coupled in the small intestine accelerate absorption of water. Glucose enhances the sodium, and thus the water transport in the upper intestine.
These salts, though decrease dehydration, do not decrease stool volume because of the osmolarity of the glucose. The challenge is to provide adequate glucose to sodium without increasing the osmolarity of the solution.
Side Effects:
As with all pharmaceuticals, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of oral rehydration salts. Always consult a doctor or health care professional for medical advice before starting oral rehydration therapy with oral rehydration salts.
Common side effects include, but may not be limited to vomiting, high blood sodium, and high blood potassium. Seek medical attention if the following develop: the decreased level of consciousness, dehydration worsens, or intestinal blockage.
For a comprehensive list of all possible effects, consult your doctor.
If any symptom persists or gets worse, or you notice any other symptom, then please call your doctor immediately.
