Hydrovit

Hydrovit

® (English:
Hydrovit
®) is a medicine used to compensate for fluid loss by the body, normalize water-electrolyte balance, and correct the acid-base environment.
A drug similar in composition and purpose is Hydrovit forte
(see).

Dosage form and composition of Hydrovit

Hydrovit is available in the form of a powder for the preparation of a solution for oral administration, packaged in bags made of a combined material. The active ingredient Hydrovit is a combination of glucose (the terms “dextrose” and “glucose” are synonyms) and potassium and sodium salts: glucose + potassium chloride + sodium chloride + sodium citrate (lat. dextrose + potassium chloride + sodium chloride + sodium citrate
). Hydrovit is sold in two versions, differing, due to the different excipients included in the composition, in weight, appearance and smell:

• Hydrovit for children. White or almost white powder. The mass of the contents of one sachet is 4.869 g, the excipient is colloidal silicon dioxide.
• Hydrovit for children strawberry. The powder is light red in color, with the smell of strawberries. The weight of the contents of one sachet is 5.129 g, excipients: colloidal silicon dioxide, aspartame sweetener, Evoglass strawberry flavor, dry beet root spray, malic acid.

One sachet of Hydrovit is intended for the preparation of one dose of solution for oral administration and contains the following amount of active ingredients:

The osmolality of the Hydrovit solution is 240 mOsm/l. The osmolarity of Hydrovit is less than the osmolarity of the so-called “classic” oral rehydration salts (311 mOsm/l), which were recommended by WHO and UNICEF more than 30 years ago, and is close to the osmolarity of the “improved” oral rehydration salts (approximately 245 mOsm/l), recommended WHO and UNICEF in 2006.

Indications for use of Hydrovit

• oral rehydration therapy to replace fluid and salt losses due to diarrhea
• restoration of water-electrolyte balance
• for the purpose of prevention during thermal and physical stress leading to intense sweating

Directions for use of Hydrovit and dosage

A packet of Hydrovit dissolves in 200 ml of drinking or freshly boiled chilled water or tea. The resulting solution should be drunk immediately after preparation in one or several small portions. At room temperature, the solution is suitable for use for no more than an hour, when stored in the refrigerator - no more than a day. Dosage:

• middle-aged children: single dose - 1 sachet after each bowel movement
• older children and adults: single dose - 1-2 sachets after each bowel movement

For children under three years of age, Hydrovit is prescribed at the rate of 150 ml of solution per kg of the child’s weight, for patients over three years of age, including adults, at the rate of 20 to 40 ml of solution per kg of the patient’s weight.
To quickly and more completely compensate for the loss of fluid and salts, large doses of Gidrovit can be prescribed, especially at the beginning of therapy.
