For ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution), the approximate amount of solution to administer in the first 4 hours is:

• Below 4 months / less than 5 kg - 200–400 mL.
• 4–11 months / 5–7.9 kg - 400–600 mL.
• 12–23 months / 8–10.9 kg - 600–800 mL.
• Up to 4 years / 11–15.9 kg - 800–1,200 mL.
• Up to 14 years / 16–29.9 kg - 1,200–2,200 mL.
• 15 years or older / 30 kg or more - 2,200–4,000 mL.

Iso-osmotic overload is managed by restricting intake of sodium, potassium, and water. Additionally, treatment includes measures to increase renal excretion of sodium, potassium, and water, often achieved through the use of loop diuretics. These diuretics enhance renal elimination of these substances, helping to address the overload and restore balance.

If you miss a dose, continue with the next dose as scheduled. Do not take extra to make up for a missed dose.

Dissolve one sachet in the recommended amount of water as per instructions. Drink as needed to rehydrate.
