Buy O.R.S hydration tablets online

Choose your O.R.S flavour and pack size from The Care Pharmacy. This page includes lemon, blackcurrant and strawberry options in 12 or 24-tablet packs. Select the combination you want to see its current availability and price before ordering.

Electrolytes in a convenient tablet format

O.R.S tablets make a drink containing glucose and electrolytes including sodium and potassium. The tube format is convenient to carry, but you still need clean drinking water and the correct mixing amount. This listing is for the original hydration tablets, not the separate Sport or Immune range.

Prepare the right concentration

For the standard hydration solution, dissolve two tablets in 200ml of water. Follow the directions on your supplied pack for your age and purpose of use. Do not assume that all sports drinks, hydration tablets or oral rehydration products use the same dilution.

When to seek help for dehydration

Seek urgent advice for unusual drowsiness, persistent dizziness on standing, very little urine or inability to keep fluids down. Babies and young children need particular care. An online order should not delay help when someone is unwell.

Further information: O.R.S manufacturer directions and ingredients, NHS dehydration advice. Always follow the instructions supplied with your product.

Directions

For standard hydration, fully dissolve two tablets in 200ml of drinking water. Follow the pack’s age-specific serving advice; children under three need a healthcare professional’s guidance. Do not chew or swallow tablets whole, or make the solution more concentrated than directed.

Ingredients

Contains glucose, sodium and potassium salts, with flavourings and other ingredients that vary by flavour. It is not sugar-free. Check the exact tube for the complete ingredients, nutrition and allergy information rather than applying one flavour’s list to another.

Pack options

Choose 12 or 24 tablets and your preferred listed flavour. Availability depends on the selected combination. At two tablets per standard preparation, these sizes make six or twelve preparations respectively; this is not a daily dosing recommendation.

Precautions

Ask a pharmacist before use if you have diabetes, kidney disease or a prescribed fluid or salt restriction. Seek medical advice for significant or persistent dehydration. Do not use a supplement instead of a varied diet or delay treatment while waiting for delivery.

Storage

Keep the tube closed in a cool, dry place. The manufacturer advises using prepared solution within eight hours at room temperature or 24 hours when refrigerated. Check the supplied pack and discard expired tablets or leftover solution beyond the recommended period.
