Description
Ingredients
Ge-Oral Rehydration Powder contains 13.5g of dehydrated glucose, 2.6g of sodium chloride, 2.9g of trisodium citrate dihydrate, and 1.5g of potassium chloride per sachet. These ingredients work together to replenish the body’s fluid levels.
How does it work?
ORS works by restoring the body’s fluids and electrolytes. It contains a specific combination of glucose and electrolytes (potassium and sodium) that maximizes fluid absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. The intestinal cells rely on sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) to move substances across membranes. SGLTs pair together sodium and glucose transport in the small intestine, allowing glucose to increase the absorption of fluids. Sodium needs glucose to be properly absorbed, making the combination of glucose and electrolytes essential for the effectiveness of ORS.
Usage
To use Ge-Oral Rehydration Powder, simply open the sachet and pour the contents into 200 mL of cooled boiled water (or tap water for those over 1 year old). Stir the mixture until the powder has completely dissolved and the solution is clear or just slightly cloudy. Make sure the full dose is consumed.

Oral rehydration therapy, including Ge-Oral Rehydration Powder, is safe for children and is commonly used to treat dehydration caused by diarrhea. According to research conducted in 2018, oral rehydration therapy has prevented 54 million deaths due to diarrhea since 2007 and has reduced diarrhea-related deaths in children by two-thirds since 1980. It is a highly effective treatment for dehydration.

If any of these side effects occur, it is important to consult a doctor immediately.
Conclusion
Ge-Oral Rehidratasyon Powder is a safe and effective oral rehydration solution (ORS) that can help treat moderate dehydration in children. Its specific formula of glucose and electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium, maximizes fluid absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. ORS therapy has been proven to be successful in preventing millions of deaths due to diarrhea since 2007, and has reduced diarrhea-related deaths in children by two-thirds since 1980. While there may be possible side effects of using ORS, it is important to consult with a doctor if any symptoms occur.
