Product overview
Description
Composition
Each 10g sachet (orange flavor) contains, per a Bangladesh pharmacy listing: Dried Sucrose 6.35g, Glucose Anhydrous 0.5g, Sodium Chloride 1.5g, Citric Acid Anhydrous 0.587g, Potassium Chloride 0.587g, and Tri-Sodium Citrate Dihydrate 0.146g, plus flavoring. This is a flavored "tasty saline" product, and its composition differs meaningfully from SMC's own standard WHO-formula ORSaline (which uses Glucose Anhydrous as the primary carbohydrate and has different, generally higher, electrolyte levels). SMC Fruity substitutes most of its carbohydrate content with ordinary sucrose (table sugar) and uses a lower total electrolyte concentration. This means SMC Fruity should be understood as a flavored oral rehydration/refreshment product rather than treated as clinically identical to the standard medical ORS formula used for treating significant dehydration.
Uses & Indications
Per one Bangladesh pharmacy listing's labeling, this product is described for the prevention of dehydration and general management of diarrhea-related fluid loss. Separately, SMC's own marketing materials frame it more casually as a hydration/refreshment drink for situations like dehydration from excessive sweating in hot weather. Given the composition differs from the standard WHO ORS formula, for genuinely significant dehydration - especially in young children, the elderly, or with high-volume diarrhea - using a standard WHO-formula ORS product (such as SMC's own standard ORSaline) or seeking medical care is recommended, rather than relying on this flavored variant as primary rehydration therapy for serious illness.
Dosage & Administration
Preparation instructions vary by source, so both approaches are given below since it is not clear which applies to your specific packaging. One Bangladesh pharmacy listing's clinical-style dosing (based on age, given after each loose motion) recommends: under 2 years, 50-100ml of prepared solution; 2 to 10 years, 100-200ml; over 10 years and adults, 200-400ml. Separately, SMC's own site and retailer listings describe a simpler single preparation: dissolve one 10g sachet in 500ml of water and drink throughout the day, without age-based volume distinctions. Please check your product's own printed instructions, and when in doubt for a child or for significant illness, consult a physician or pharmacist rather than guessing between these two approaches.
Precautions & Side Effects
Do not mix with hot water. Discard any prepared, unused solution after 12 hours (per a Bangladesh pharmacy listing). Do not add extra sugar or salt beyond what is in the packet. Seek medical care promptly for signs of severe dehydration (such as sunken eyes, reduced urination, extreme lethargy, or inability to keep fluids down), if there is blood in the stool, high fever, or if diarrhea persists for more than a few days, rather than relying on this product alone. Use with caution, and under medical guidance, in individuals with reduced kidney function, severe ongoing diarrhea, or other conditions requiring restricted fluid or electrolyte intake, as such cases may need supplementation with intravenous fluids rather than oral rehydration alone.
Storage & Safety
Store the unopened sachet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is SMC Fruity oral saline the same as standard ORSaline?
A: No. It uses ordinary sucrose for most of its carbohydrate content and a lower electrolyte level than the standard WHO-formula ORS, so it works better as a flavored hydration drink than as treatment for serious dehydration.
Q: How do I prepare SMC Fruity oral saline?
A: Dissolve one sachet completely in 500ml of cool (not hot) water and drink it through the day, following the exact instructions printed on your pack.
Q: Can SMC Fruity oral saline be used for a child with diarrhea?
A: For mild fluid loss it can help, but for a young child with ongoing diarrhea, sunken eyes, reduced urination, or extreme tiredness, see a doctor and use a standard WHO-formula ORS rather than relying on this flavored version alone.
Q: Can I add extra sugar or salt to SMC Fruity oral saline?
A: No. Do not add anything beyond what is in the sachet, since that changes the intended balance of the solution and can make it less safe.
Q: How long can prepared SMC Fruity oral saline be kept before it should be discarded?
A: Discard any solution you have mixed after about 12 hours, even if it looks and smells fine, and mix a fresh batch instead.
Q: Who should be cautious about using SMC Fruity oral saline?
A: People with reduced kidney function or conditions that require restricted fluid or salt intake should use it only under medical guidance, since it still adds sugar, sodium, and potassium to the body.
Q: How should unopened SMC Fruity oral saline sachets be stored?
A: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture, and use them before the expiry date printed on the pack.
