## Pharmacist FAQs Answered

### How do I use O.R.S Hydration Tablets?

To use these tablets, dissolve the specified number in water as directed. For example, many instructions say to dissolve 2 tablets in 200 mL of drinking water (about 7 oz). Sip the solution slowly to rehydrate. In practice, adults (and older children) can drink up to about 2 litres (8½ cups) of the prepared solution per day if needed. Always mix exactly as directed – too much or too little water can upset the balance of salts. If you’re unsure, follow the product instructions or ask a pharmacist for guidance.

### Are O.R.S Hydration Tablets safe for children and pregnant women?

O.R.S tablets are generally family-safe. The standard formula is suitable for children ages 3 and up, and a paediatrics-friendly version is also available. For very young children, a doctor will advise on the proper dose – one leaflet, for example, says to dissolve 2 tablets in 200 mL of water and give it slowly to a sick child. Pregnant or breastfeeding women can usually use these low-sugar electrolyte tablets safely when needed. As with any medicine or supplement, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider during pregnancy or if you have any health concerns (e.g. high blood pressure).

### How do O.R.S Hydration Tablets compare to sports drinks?

O.R.S tablets are an oral rehydration solution (ORS) designed to replace fluids and salts quickly. Unlike most sports drinks, which focus on high sugar content for quick energy, ORS formulas have higher sodium and potassium with little or no added sugar. In fact, studies show that during exercise, there’s no difference in fluid retention whether people use a sports drink or an ORS. Essentially, O.R.S tablets replenish electrolytes more efficiently, helping water absorb better into your body. Think of sports drinks as “energy + electrolytes” and ORS tablets as pure “water + electrolytes”; both hydrate you, but ORS minimises extra sugar.

### Can I take O.R.S Hydration Tablets daily or for long-term hydration?

These tablets are meant for occasional rehydration, not for daily use when you’re not dehydrated. If you drink enough water and eat a balanced diet, you usually don’t need an ORS every day. Experts note there’s “no reason to rely on ORS if you do not need it”. Using them unnecessarily can lead to excessive salt intake. Health sources warn that using ORS without need can lead to salt toxicity (hypernatremia). In short, use them when you really need to rehydrate – for example, after heavy sweating, illness or heat exposure – and otherwise stick to regular fluids.

### Are O.R.S Hydration Tablets suitable for travel, exercise, and hot weather?

O.R.S tablets are very handy for travel and exercise when the risk of dehydration is higher. They follow WHO formulas to replace fluids and electrolytes lost (for example, from traveller's diarrhoea or intense sweating). Travellers often carry plain water, but adding an ORS tablet ensures fast electrolyte replenishment without extra sugar. For sports and hot weather, the tablets help maintain hydration and can prevent cramps. Studies have shown that ORS solutions are as effective as sports drinks for keeping you hydrated during exercise. Simply dissolve a tablet in water and sip regularly during your trip or workout to stay optimally hydrated.

### What side effects should I be aware of when using O.R.S Hydration Tablets?

When used correctly, side effects are rare. However, if the mix is too concentrated (too salty), you might feel nausea or even vomit. Overuse or using ORS when not needed can cause hypernatremia (high blood salt). Certain people should be cautious: those with kidney problems, heart failure, high blood pressure or diabetes should talk to a doctor first. In general, follow mixing directions carefully and stop using the tablets if you notice any adverse symptoms. If in doubt, seek medical advice for guidance on safe use.

## Pharmacist FAQs Answered

### Can I Use a Lateral Flow Test if I Have No Symptoms?

**Yes, you may use a lateral flow test even if you're not experiencing any symptoms**. These tests are ideal for regular checks, especially if you've been in close contact with other individuals or visiting someone who is at risk. Even though you're feeling okay, you might be unknowingly carrying the virus and infecting others. Testing stops the spread by catching cases early. Many schools, workplaces, and destinations that people visit recommend or require testing for this reason. If you test positive, even if you're not sick, you must self-isolate and check the local guidelines. This helps keep others around you safe, especially those who might become seriously unwell with [COVID-19](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/article/preventive-and-general-health/general-health/covid-19-vaccine-do-any-ingredients-go-against-my-faith-or-ethical-beliefs-860). Always read the instructions in the kit carefully and ensure your test is **not expired before use**.

### How Do I Dispose of the Used Test Kit Safely?

After taking the test, you should dispose of the used components properly. First, put everything back into the box or plastic bag, including the swab, test strip, and packaging. Next, dispose of the bag in your regular household trash. Don't put it in your recycling bin. The products can be contaminated with virus particles and need to be handled carefully. Please wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after you've disposed of it. If the test was positive, you don't need to inform your waste service, but you should still handle the waste with care when opening and closing it. Some websites may give you information about particular disposals, so check your local council or health website if unsure.

### Are There Any Foods or Medicines That Could Affect the Results?

Most food and medicines will not affect the accuracy of a lateral flow [COVID-19 test](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/condition/immune-and-allergies/immune-health/covid-19-coronavirus). Although don't eat, drink, [smoke](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/article/preventive-and-general-health/general-health/smoking-vaping-and-the-risk-to-young-people-70), or chew gum for 30 minutes before the test, particularly if using one that reaches close to the mouth or throat. This prevents contamination that can lead to an inaccurate result. Nasal sprays and rinses must be avoided an hour before the test since these can contaminate the quality of the sample. Be ever cautious and strictly heed the test instructions. If you're unsure whether something you're consuming might affect your test, talk to a doctor or pharmacist. They can advise you considering your health requirements and the test you're using.

### What Do I Do if My Test Result Is Invalid?

An invalid result is when the test didn't function properly, and you won't be able to determine whether you're positive. This may happen when there wasn't enough sample, the test expired, or a mistake occurred. An invalid test, in general, will lack any lines or possess a line just at the mark of the test, but without any control line. If so, you would need to re-test as quickly as possible. Carefully read each step—wash hands, use a flat surface, and read instructions beforehand. If you continually get invalid results, check if the kit is compromised or past its expiration date. If you remain uncertain, you should also ask a pharmacist for help to test correctly.

### Am I Able to Use a Lateral Flow Test for Travel or Events?

Specific locations permit lateral flow tests for travel or for visiting an event, but it depends on the country, airline, or event operator. Always check the latest rules before travelling. In a few cases, they may require a test from a clinic or one overseen online. They may not accept home tests without a certificate or report. A few pharmacies or testing providers provide official proof of lateral flow test results for travel or entry. If you're unclear about what sort of test you need, the pharmacist can review your options. Don't forget to book early so you'll have time to test and get your results before travelling or attending your event.

### What Do I Do if I Get a Positive Lateral Flow Test Result?

If you test positive, you probably have COVID-19. You must stay home and avoid contact with others to prevent the virus from spreading. Tell anyone you've been close to in the last few days so they can look out for symptoms or test themselves. Depending on where you are, you might need to report your result online or to your GP. Call your doctor or local health service if you feel ill or your symptoms worsen. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take medication like paracetamol to relieve fever or pain. Most people recover within a week or two, but look after your health and get help if needed.

## Pharmacist FAQs Answered

### How effective is Covaflu Hand Sanitiser?

Covaflu Hand Sanitiser is clinically proven to kill 99.99% of bacteria and enveloped viruses, including common pathogens responsible for seasonal [colds](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/condition/immune-and-allergies/immune-health/common-cold-655), [flu](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/condition/immune-and-allergies/immune-health/influenza-390), and other viral infections. Unlike some hand sanitisers that only work at the time of use, Covaflu’s advanced formula creates a residual protective layer that continues to defend your skin for hours after application. It meets strict European testing standards (BSEN1276 & BSEN14476), giving you confidence that it offers reliable, tested hygiene wherever you go.

### Is it safe for sensitive or dry skin?

**Yes** – one of the standout benefits of Covaflu is that it’s alcohol-free, making it especially suitable for people with sensitive or dry skin. It doesn’t strip away the skin’s natural oils or damage the moisture barrier, which can often be true with high-alcohol sanitisers. Instead, it’s enriched with skin-friendly ingredients like aloe vera and cucumber, which help to soothe, hydrate and maintain softness with regular use. This makes it an excellent choice for those who sanitise frequently or for use by children and the elderly.

### When and where should I use it?

This hand sanitiser is perfect for on-the-go commuting, shopping, work, or travelling. The convenient **50ml** size fits easily into handbags, backpacks, or coat pockets, allowing you to use it anytime you need clean hands but don’t have access to soap and water. Apply a small amount, rub it over all parts of your hands and let it dry – it works quickly without any stickiness. It’s beneficial before eating, touching high-contact surfaces, or handling cash, public transport poles or communal objects.

### Is Covaflu Hand Sanitiser suitable for children?

**Yes**, thanks to its gentle, alcohol-free formula, Covaflu is safer for use on children’s delicate skin. However, as with any sanitiser, it should always be used under adult supervision to ensure proper application and to avoid contact with eyes or mouth. Its [moisturising](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/treatment/skin-and-external-care/skincare-scalp/emollients-441) ingredients help reduce the risk of irritation or [dryness](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/condition/skin-and-external-care/skincare-scalp/dry-skin), making it a practical choice for families looking to maintain hand hygiene without the harshness of traditional sanitisers.

### How does this compare to alcohol-based sanitisers?

While alcohol-based hand sanitisers are effective, they can dry out the skin and may not provide lasting protection once they evaporate. Covaflu offers an alternative solution by using an alcohol-free formula that still meets international hand hygiene protocols. It’s been independently tested and certified to kill a wide range of germs but without the stinging or drying sensation associated with alcohol. For those with sensitive skin or who sanitise frequently throughout the day, Covaflu provides a more comfortable and skin-friendly option.
