Usage

Rehydration (replacement of fluid and electrolyte loss, as recommended by the GPGE) with HiPP ORS 200 during the first 3 to 4 hours

Unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor, administer ORS exclusively for the first 3 to 4 hours, approx. 10 ml per kg of body weight (BW):

• Mild diarrhoea (weight loss < 3% of body weight): 20 to 30 ml per kg body weight 
• Mild to moderate diarrhoea (weight loss 3–8% of body weight): 30–80 ml/kg body weight 
• Severe diarrhoea (weight loss < 9 per cent of body weight): consult a doctor without fail; ORS 200 may be used as an oral supplement to intravenous fluid replacement

Rapid refeeding (gradual reintroduction of food) after 3 to 4 hours

• Breastfed infants should continue to be breastfed during rehydration.
• Bottle-fed infants should resume their usual diet after the rehydration phase.
• Infants who are already receiving complementary foods should be given their usual complementary foods and formula in full quantities and at the usual concentration after rehydration. In cases of severe illness, a gradual reintroduction of food may also be necessary here.
• Older children can be quickly transitioned back to their usual diet after rehydration, starting with easily digestible foods in small portions. If this does not result in vomiting, they can move on to a normal diet. Juices with a high sugar content (sucrose, fructose, sorbitol) should be avoided. Further fluid loss due to vomiting and/or diarrhoea should be compensated for with an additional 50–100 ml of HiPP ORS 200 for each episode of watery stools or vomiting.
