Dehydration can be harmful to the body. Dehydration can be caused by diarrhea and physical activity such as walking, cycling, mountain climbing and other sports. Especially small children and the elderly are susceptible to moisture loss. Moisture deficit and thus the salt balance of the body can be restored with an ORS (Oral Rehydration Salts) solution. Care Plus O.R.S. is a glucose-salt preparation that promotes moisture absorption during diarrhea or excessive perspiration.
