Ready To Drink ORS is the key to smart hydration

As India battles rising heatwaves and lifestyle-driven dehydration, the need for convenient, safe and accessible hydration formats is more critical than ever. Ready To Drink (RTD) ORS offers a reliable alternative that eliminates the risks associated with powdered ORS.

Ready to drink ORS delivers the exact, pre-measured composition recommended by WHO for oral rehydration. Whereas with powder ORS, there is risk of under or over-dilution if not mixed precisely, reducing effectiveness.

RTD ORS that comes in safe Tetra Pak cartons eliminates the need for measuring, mixing, or sourcing clean water, making it ideal for emergency response, low-literacy populations, and rapid deployment during health crises.

Because it’s instantly consumable, RTD ORS delivers rapid hydration, a critical advantage in cases of acute dehydration, heat stress, or diarrhoeal illness.

The convenience of RTD ORS dramatically improves compliance, particularly among children, the elderly, and the unwell, groups for whom preparation can be a barrier. Its portability makes it ideal for emergency use, school health programs, and field distribution, where time and hygiene are often compromised.

Hygienically packaged in aseptic Tetra Pak cartons, RTD ORS bypasses the hygiene risks associated with mixing powders in suboptimal environments.

“While ORS packets are routinely available in all government hospitals, the ORS provided through this initiative is a ready-to-drink solution, which does not require mixing with water. This is particularly beneficial for the general public as well as patients suffering from diarrhea, vomiting, or dehydration, especially during the summer months when fluid loss is common. Since it is a ready-made solution, it offers immediate and effective rehydration,” says Dr Davre, Additional Civil Surgeon, District Civil Hospital, Ahilyanagar
