Dehydration often occurs during and after physical exertion (sports) in high temperatures. Excessive sweating or other causes involving large amounts of fluid loss can also lead to dehydration symptoms. This can lead to reduced performance, higher body temperature and reduced blood flow to, for example, muscles, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. You may also experience confusion and reduced awareness. If these symptoms are ignored, they can lead to shock, coma and even death. In addition, special consideration should be given to small children up to 2 years of age as they have an increased risk of dehydration. Pregnant women, the chronically ill and the elderly also have an increased risk of dehydration. Be alert and make sure that O.R.S. (Oral Rehydration Salt) is always within reach.
Care Plus® O.R.S. Oral Rehydration Salt Raspberry is a glucose-salt preparation. O.R.S. helps you to prevent dehydration by containing the right amount of sugars and salts, which promotes fluid absorption. The O.R.S. sachets help to get your glucose and salt levels back on track. Care Plus® O.R.S. Oral Rehydration Salt Raspberry sachets are particularly suitable during and after physical exertion in high temperatures. O.R.S. is mixed in water and taken orally.

- It is preferable to give the O.R.S. solution before bottle or breastfeeding, as it will then be easier to drink enough. Afterwards, feed as usual. Even if you need less solution, you should still dissolve 1 sachet in 200 ml of water.
Then use the correct amount and discard the remaining solution or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
