Side Effects
Side effects of Potassium Chloride + Rice powder + Sodium Chloride + Trisodium Citrate (Rice ORS) :
Some studies have reported a slightly increased risk of hyponatraemia (low plasma sodium concentration) in patients who have received this ORS. However this decrease, which was very limited, was not associated with any clinical signs.
Mode of Action
Potassium chloride is a major cation of the intracellular fluid. It plays an active role in the conduction of nerve impulses in the heart, brain and skeletal muscle; contraction of cardiac skeletal and smooth muscles; maintenance of normal renal function, acid-base balance, carbohydrate metabolism and gastric secretion.
Sodium chloride is the major extracellular cation. It is important in electrolyte and fluid balance, osmotic pressure control and water distribution as it restores sodium ions. It is used as a source of electrolytes and water for hydration, treatment of metabolic acidosis, priming solution in haemodialysis and treatment of hyperosmolar diabetes. It is also used as diluents for infusion of compatible drug additives.
Trisodium Citrate to active bicarbonate.
