Directions for use

Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, administer 50-100 ml/kg every 4-6 hours. It is advisable to start with small doses (about 5 ml, using a teaspoon or measuring syringe) every 2-3 minutes; if the intake is well tolerated and does not induce vomiting, gradually increase the amount taken and reduce the time intervals. In case of subsequent losses, the recommended quantity must be further integrated by also adding:

• 2-5 ml/kg for each episode of vomiting;
• 10 ml/kg for each bout of diarrhea;
• 1-5 ml/kg/day for each degree of temperature above 38°C

If vomiting occurs, administration can be suspended for 10 minutes and then resumed more slowly. If refrigerated, ORS is more pleasant to take. Shake before administration.

Warnings

Sterilidrum must be used exclusively under medical supervision; sterilidrum is not suitable for use as a sole source of nutrition; sterilidrum must not be administered parenterally.
