Electrolytes with carbohydrates are used as oral or intravenous rehydration solutions for the treatment and prevention of dehydration due to diarrhea, vomiting, or other conditions causing fluid loss. They commonly contain sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate (or citrate), and glucose or other simple carbohydrates to facilitate absorption via the sodium-glucose transporter. These products are widely used and accepted in clinical practice and are recommended by the WHO for oral rehydration therapy.
No dedicated pharmacokinetic modeling studies are available for the composite product 'electrolytes with carbohydrates' as a drug entity in healthy volunteers or specific patient groups. Absorption and disposition of oral rehydration solutions are governed by physiological processes of intestinal uptake and renal excretion.
