Pharmacology
Oral rehydration salts are given orally to prevent or treat dehydration due to acute diarrhoea.
Glucose is actively absorbed in the normal intestine and carries sodium with it in about an equimolar ration.
Preservation of the facilitated glucose-sodium co-transport system in the small-bowel mucosa is the rationale of oral rehydration therapy.
Bicarbonates are effective in correcting the metabolic acidosis caused by diarrhoea and dehydration.
Potassium replacement during acute diarrhoea prevents below-normal serum concentrations of potassium, especially in children, in whom stool potassium losses are higher than in adults.
