Diahorrea can have debilitating effects on the body due to the extreme dehydrations it can cause. Oral rehydration solution is water that contains salt and glucose and creates an osmolality that drives the reabsoption of water from the gut lumen. This decreases the secretion and keeps water within the body. The therapy comes in packs of dry salt and sugar that is added to water before administration. These packs save over 2000000 (2 million) childrens lives each year mostly in developing countries.
