Is there any difference between ORS and Electral powder?

Electral is WHO based ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) formula. The formula is basically a combination of Dextrose and a number of essential electrolytes like Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, and Sodium Citrate. These electrolytes play a major role in conducting nervous impulses, contracting muscles, keeping you hydrated, and regulating your body's pH levels. Electral is used for the replacement of fluid and these electrolytes and maintenance of hydration in diarrhea, vomiting, and other conditions where there is a loss of water and electrolytes. Hence there is no difference between ORS and Electral powder.
