O.R.S Kids Hydration Tablets – Strawberry are pharmacist-formulated effervescent electrolyte tablets created specifically to support children's hydration. The formula combines three essential electrolytes—sodium, potassium and chloride—with a small amount of glucose, which work together to replace fluids and salts and support effective hydration. They can be particularly useful during hot weather, travel, sport and exercise, or following increased fluid loss.
The tablets have a child-friendly natural strawberry flavour and are vegan-friendly and gluten-free. The manufacturer states that the formula follows World Health Organization hydration guidelines.
