Preferred Label : Oral Rehydration Solution OS-1;
NCIt definition : An aqueous solution composed of glucose and electrolytes, including sodium, potassium,
chloride, magnesium, and phosphorus, with dehydration preventative and rehydration
activities. Upon oral administration of the oral rehydration solution (ORS), water,
electrolytes and glucose are absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract into the
systemic circulation. This replenishes the body's supply of water, carbohydrates and
electrolytes, and prevents both dehydration and renal dysfunction.;
