Warnings
Each tablet can take a few minutes to fully dissolve depending on the temperature of water.
The reasons O.R.S takes a few minutes to dissolve relative to some other soluble tablets include the following: Helps with the preparation of a homogeneous solution and even distribution of ingredients in water and thus better absorption by the body. Helps ensure the active ingredients are intact in hot conditions/climate where many people will be using O.R.S, for example when on holiday or working in warm conditions. To help ensure O.R.S can be stored with a 3-year shelf life and sold internationally, we have used a stronger binding agent to keep all the ingredients intact for longer and importantly in variable humidity conditions.
If you are a Diabetic patient and plan to use O.R.S Hydration Tablets, please consider that each tablet contains 1.635 grams of glucose. It is advisable to consult your GP or a Pharmacist before taking O.R.S.
