The New Reduced Osmolarity formula for the ORS packet recommended by WHO and UNICEF contains:
Reduced osmolarity ORS
grams
/litre
Reduced osmolarity ORS
mmol/
litre
Sodium chloride
2.6
Sodium
75
Glucose, anhydrous
13.5
Chloride
65
Potassium chloride
1.5
Glucose, anhydrous
75
Trisodium citrate, dihydrate

Total Weight 20.5
Total Osmolarity

The above ingredients are to be dissolved in one litre of clean water.
WHO said the new formula would reduce the severity of diarrhoea and vomiting, the number of hospitalisations, the need for costly intravenous fluid treatment and the length of illness. This formula also gives the packets a longer shelf life and is at least as effective in correcting acidosis and reducing stool volume as the old formula. Packets containing sodium bicarbonate are still safe and effective.
