225 mOsm/lt
Rational molar concentration ie, 1:1 of Na : Dextrose
Indications:
For the prevention and treatment of
dehydration associated with diarrhoea & stress due to :
Unknown etiology, Over feeding, Infections,
Environment, Transportation, Vaccination, Deworming,
Convalescence & Surgery
Directions for use
Contents of whole sachet to be
dissolved in sufficient lukewarm water (Approx. 1
teaspoonful) and feed as follows:
Above 15 kg : 2-4 sachets in a day or as directed
Below 15 kg: 1-2 sachets in a day or as directed.
Solution shall be made,just prior to administration.
Can be used on its own or in conjunction with
antibacterial therapy.
Caution:
Rehydration products which are not meant for
dogs and cats may contain bicarbonates as buffering agent,
which can interfere with milk/milk product digestion.
Advantages:
Reverses the effects of dehydration
When glucose & glycine are absorbed in intestine,
sodium is co-transported (symported), increasing
sodium concentration in intestinal villi. This promotes
absorption of water through osmosis. The linked
(glucose-sodium-water & glycine-sodium-water)
absorption increases net fluid and electrolyte uptake
reversing the process of dehydration and diarrhoea.
