WHAT
ACTAVIS ORS IS USED FOR
When
you
or
your
child
has
diarrhoea or is vomiting, it is
important
to
prevent
dehydration.
Oral
rehydration
salt (ORS) solutions are used to
prevent or correct dehydration
in adults and children. ORS is
also used to prevent dehydration
during physical exertion.
HOW
ACTAVIS ORS WORK
Actavis ORS contain the right
mix of salt, sugar, potassium,
and
other
minerals
to
help
replace
lost
fluids.
Dextrose
provides
a
rapidly
available
source
of
energy.
It
also
accelerates
the
absorption
of
salts and water.
