Peditral Sachet

Peditral Sachet is a WHO/UNICEF-recommended oral rehydration salt formula containing a combination of dextrose and essential electrolytes like sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium citrate. It contains anhydrous dextrose or glucose as the primary ingredient, which facilitates sodium and water absorption in the small intestine. The electrolyte powder helps restore body fluids and electrolytes which get lost due to dehydration caused by diarrhoea, vomiting, muscle cramping, and heat during exercising or hot weather.
