Diarrhea – The Silent Killer of Children: How ORS Can Save Lives

Introduction

Every year, over 500,000 children die due to diarrhea, primarily in developing countries. Most of these deaths are due to dehydration, a preventable condition.

The Hidden Danger

● Diarrhea causes rapid fluid and electrolyte loss.

● Children, especially under 5, dehydrate faster.

● Without quick intervention, it leads to organ failure and death.

How ORS Can Save Lives

● ORS replaces lost fluids and salts, helping the body recover.

● WHO recommends ORS as the first line of defense against diarrhea.

● Studies show 93% survival improvement when ORS is used promptly.

Why Doctors Recommend Frutolyte

● Scientifically balanced with WHO-recommended osmolarity (245 mOsm/L).

● Kid-friendly taste ensures children drink it willingly.

● Fast absorption for immediate relief.

● Trusted by pediatricians across India.

Doctor’s Tip:

“Always keep ORS at home, especially if you have young children. Frutolyte is my first recommendation.” – Dr. Meera Jain, Pediatrician

Frutolyte: Rehydrates. Refreshes. Re-energizes.
