• medicine with the prefix “BIO” helps not only to instantly replenish lost fluid, but also to restore the balance of microflora;
• The modern type of medicine is safer: if you follow all the rules, the likelihood of side effects is zero.

The product is also used for vomiting, diarrhea in adults and children, nausea and increased sweating. The product is not used for children under one year of age, due to the presence of weaknesses in the gastrointestinal tract. However, for other categories of patients, the use of the composition depends on the overall need and weight.

1. For people weighing around 12 kg, the prepared solution is consumed in an amount of 550 ml daily, and an additional 750 ml of liquid is drunk. The total requirement at this age is 1.3 liters.
2. At 14 kg, the volumes of solution and additional water are respectively 600 and 800 ml per day, while the requirement is 4 liters.
3. To replenish the need for a volume of 1.6 liters with 18 kg of liquid weight, respectively, they are taken in quantities of 650 and 950 ml.
4. With a weight of 25 kg, the solution is drunk in a 750 ml container, and additionally water - 1050 ml.
5. If it is necessary to replenish the supply to 1.9 liters per day, then the product is used in the amount of 800 milliliters, and additional. liquid – 1100 ml. We are talking about 30 kg of weight.
6. At 40 and 50 kg of weight, the amount of medication is 900 and 1000 ml, and additional liquid is consumed in the amount of 1000, 1300 milliliters, respectively.

Overdose

If you take an excessively large amount of solution or use an overly concentrated solution, the likelihood of developing hypernatremia increases, the manifestations of which are drowsiness, weakness, neuromuscular excitation, confusion, coma, and respiratory arrest.

Patients with reduced renal function are at risk of developing metabolic alkalosis (neuromuscular excitation, tetanic convulsions, decreased ventilation) and hyperkalemia.

In case of severe overdose with severe signs of metabolic alkalosis or hypernatremia, the drug should be discontinued. Further treatment is prescribed based on the results of laboratory tests.

special instructions

In children, other solutions with lower sodium content and osmolarity should be used.

Given the composition of the drug, caution should be exercised in patients with diabetes mellitus, impaired liver or kidney function, as well as in patients on a low-salt (sodium and/or potassium) diet.

In patients with diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, and some other chronic diseases, diarrhea can cause significant fluid or glucose imbalance. Therefore, treatment of diarrhea in such patients may require laboratory monitoring and hospitalization. If the patient's need for additional administration of electrolytes is not confirmed by laboratory tests, the recommended doses of the drug should not be exceeded.

Severe dehydration (weight loss >10%, cessation of urine output) should be treated with intravenous rehydration drugs, after which the use of Regidron solution can be started.

If intravenous administration of drugs is necessary, or in case of severe dehydration or severe vomiting, or if urine output decreases or stops, Regidron should be used with caution.

In case of vomiting, you should wait 10 minutes after the vomiting attack ends and let the solution be drunk slowly, in small sips.

The patient should consult a doctor if the following situations occur while using the drug Regidron:

• slow speech, irritability, fatigue, drowsiness, stupor;
• temperature rises above 39°C;
• bloody stools;
• incessant vomiting;
• diarrhea lasts more than 2 days;
• severe abdominal pain.

For diarrhea that develops with cholera and a number of other severe intestinal infections, the use of Regidron solution to replenish the loss of electrolytes may not be enough.

Persons with renal failure or on a diet low in potassium should be aware that the drug contains potassium.

Use of medication for alcohol intoxication

Regidron is very effective for alcohol intoxication.
Drinking alcoholic beverages disrupts brain function, leads to the accumulation of harmful substances in the liver, and washes out beneficial elements from the blood. The digestive system is especially affected, which is accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea.

The active components of Regidron replenish reserves of useful substances, normalize the functioning of the brain and nervous system, and remove accumulated toxins. Glucose is a source of energy; taking the medication as soon as possible improves the patient’s condition.

1. Svetlana. My son had acute diarrhea due to food poisoning and became dehydrated, which made his condition very serious. The doctor prescribed rehydron and I must note that the situation returned to normal quite quickly, so the drug is effective and fully justifies itself...). It was easily tolerated and no side effects were observed.
2. Rose. One day my cat got sick. He didn’t eat or drink anything, he sat so sad and I realized that I had to go to the veterinarian. There they told me that he allegedly had poisoning and his stomach was clogged. They prescribed him injections and to take rehydron. I was actually surprised when my cat started drinking it on his own, I didn’t even have to force him (the doctor told me about this, but somehow I didn’t believe it). All this helped us and I cured my cat, but he could have died.
3. Marina. The use of Regidron helped me cope with acute poisoning from canned food. I went to the doctor after vomiting did not stop for 10 hours.

How to make an analogue of "Regidron" yourself?

Oral rehydration salt solutions are a mixture of water, sugar and salt. Therefore, you can breed them with your own hands. When the drug unexpectedly runs out, you can make its equivalent at home and then buy more powder at the pharmacy. The classic composition of the “homemade” mixture is as follows: a liter of boiled water cooled to room temperature, 20-30 g. sugar, 3 gr. table salt, 2 gr. soda After three years, half the water is replaced with a decoction of carrots and raisins (it will replenish the potassium balance).

Almost the same recipe is given by Dr. Komarovsky in his reference book “Emergency Care”:

• boiled water – liter;
• baking soda – 1 tsp;
• table salt – 1 tsp;
• granulated sugar – 2 tsp.

The first day after poisoning, you should only give your baby Regidron and give him another liquid. When the vomiting stops, the child can be offered to eat crackers, drink diluted apple juice or dried fruit compote. Later, you should prepare rice water, thin porridge with water, and offer half a banana. There is no need to give spicy, fatty, smoked foods, or dairy products for the first 5-7 days after illness. If you feel better, a doctor’s check-up is necessary after two days.
