Frequently Asked Questions
What is Electral 21.8gm used for?
Electral is an oral rehydration salt (ORS) solution used to prevent and treat dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, or excessive sweating.
How does Electral work?
Electral contains a balanced mix of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and glucose. It helps replace lost fluids and essential electrolytes, restoring the body's hydration and electrolyte balance.
What is the usual dosage of Electral?
Adults and children should dissolve the entire contents of one Electral 21.8gm sachet in 1 liter of clean drinking water. The solution should be given in small sips frequently. Dosage depends on the severity of dehydration and age; follow medical advice or package instructions.
What are the possible side effects of Electral?
Side effects are rare when used as directed. Occasionally, some people may experience mild bloating or nausea. If you notice signs of electrolyte imbalance (such as muscle weakness, confusion, or irregular heartbeat), seek medical attention.
Is Electral safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes, Electral is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used as directed.
Can Electral be taken with other medications?
Electral can usually be taken with most medications. However, consult a healthcare provider if you are on medications that affect electrolyte balance or if you have kidney or heart problems.
What precautions should be taken while using Electral?
- Always mix the sachet in the correct amount of water (1 liter).
- Do not use more than the recommended amount.
- Use freshly prepared solution; discard any unused solution after 24 hours.
- Consult a doctor if diarrhea or vomiting persists beyond 24-48 hours, or if there are signs of severe dehydration.
What should I do if a dose is missed?
ORS is given according to the need for fluid replacement rather than at fixed times. If a dose is missed, continue giving the solution as soon as possible and as needed.
How should Electral be stored?
Store Electral sachets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The prepared solution should be kept refrigerated and used within 24 hours. Discard any leftover solution after this period.
