Rehidráló

Rehidráló is a pharmaceutical preparation designed to combat dehydration. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, leading to a deficiency in water and essential electrolytes. This condition can arise from various causes, including excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or insufficient fluid intake. Rehidráló solutions are typically formulated to replenish these lost fluids and electrolytes, helping to restore the body's balance.

The primary components of rehidráló are usually glucose and electrolytes such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium citrate. Glucose provides a source of energy and also aids in the absorption of sodium and water from the intestines. The electrolytes are crucial for maintaining proper fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. The specific concentrations of these components are carefully balanced to optimize rehydration.

Rehidráló is commonly administered orally, usually in the form of a powder that is mixed with water. The dosage and frequency depend on the severity of dehydration and the age of the individual. It is a widely used treatment for mild to moderate dehydration, particularly in cases of gastroenteritis or heat exhaustion. In severe cases, intravenous fluid administration may be necessary, but rehidráló is often the first-line treatment for less critical situations. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides guidelines for the formulation and use of oral rehydration salts, which are the basis for many rehidráló products.
