Olpharm Diarrhoea Kit (ORS + Zinc Sulphate)

What is the Olpharm Diarrhoea Kit? The Olpharm Diarrhoea Kit is a complete treatment pack designed to manage acute diarrhea and prevent dehydration, primarily in children and infants. Following WHO and UNICEF recommendations, this kit combines Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and Zinc Sulphate tablets. Diarrhea can lead to rapid fluid loss, which is dangerous for babies and young children. This kit provides a dual-action approach: the ORS replaces lost fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration, while Zinc helps reduce the severity and duration of the episode and prevents future occurrences for up to 3 months. Key Benefits

Complete Rehydration: Contains 2 sachets of ORS to quickly restore body fluids and essential salts. Faster Recovery: 10 Zinc Sulphate tablets (20mg) to reduce the frequency of stools and duration of illness. Prevents Dehydration: Essential for managing "running stomach" and fluid loss in children. WHO Recommended Formula: Aligns with international standards for diarrheal disease control.

How to Use

ORS: Dissolve one sachet in the specified amount of clean, boiled water (check packaging for volume, typically 200ml or 500ml). Give to the child frequently in small sips throughout the day. Zinc: Usually, one tablet is given daily for 10-14 days. For infants, the tablet can be dissolved in a small amount of breast milk or clean water. Always complete the full course even if the diarrhea stops.
