## 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.

Sterimar Congestion Relief Nasal Spray (100ml)

## Product Summary

Stérimar™ Congestion Relief helps rapidly [decongest](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/symptom/immune-and-allergies/immune-health/blocked-nose-and-nasal-congestion) the nose in the event of colds and sinusitis, allowing you to breathe better naturally. It's Clinically Proven.

### Indications of Use:

Stérimar™ Congestion Relief is recommended for children from 3 years and adults in the event of colds and sinusitis to help:

- rapidly decongest the nose in the event of colds and sinusitis by washing out nasal cavities
- wash away even thick mucus
- relieve the symptoms of colds and sinusitis.

Stérimar™ Congestion Relief is a hypertonic solution made from 100% Natural Sea Water which contains a higher concentration of salt than the human body's cells, in order to help actively unblock the nose (osmosis effect). Multi-position-easy to be used at any angle. Protective hygienic cap.

## Directions

On first use, prime the spray by briefly pressing the nozzle. From the onset of colds and sinusitis: Keeping the head straight, put the nozzle in the nostril. Spray once or twice in each nostril.

Let any excess solution flow out and then blow your nose. For a deeper cleansing of the nasal cavities and blocked noses: Keeping the head tilted to one side, put the nozzle in the upper nostril. Spray once for 2 to 3 seconds. Let any excess solution flow out and then blow your nose. After each use, clean the nozzle in hot, soapy water, then rinse and dry with a clean and soft cloth.

Use 2 to 6 times a day, until the nose is no longer blocked or as long as your doctor recommends.

## Pharmacist FAQs Answered

### How long does Stérimar Congestion Relief take to become effective after taking it?

Stérimar Congestion Relief acts extremely fast, usually within several minutes of application. That is because it employs a hypertonic seawater solution, meaning it contains a greater concentration of salt than cells in your body. That tends to pull out excess fluid and mucus from congested nasal tissues through the natural process of osmosis. The spray clears the nasal passages to breathe more freely and enjoy pressure or congestion relief, especially when you have a cold or sinus infection. For the best results, make use of the guidelines for spraying into each nostril and then gently blowing the nose. Most individuals can feel a clearer nose within a few minutes, but for ongoing symptoms, utilise it 2 to 6 times per day until they improve.

### Is Stérimar safe to use every day or for a long time?

Yes, Stérimar Congestion Relief is safe for daily and long-term use, as long as you’re using it as directed. It’s made from 100% natural seawater with added minerals like copper and manganese, and it doesn’t contain any drugs, preservatives, or chemicals that can cause side effects with frequent use. Unlike medicated nasal sprays, which will in some cases induce "rebound congestion" when overused, Stérimar works gently by removing mucus and irritants from the nasal area. It can be used safely several times a day in the case of a cold or sinus problem, and even daily for overall nasal hygiene or to prevent congestion. If symptoms persist for more than 10 days or worsen, consult a doctor.

### Can I use this spray in addition to other cold or allergy medications?

Yes, Stérimar can be used in conjunction with other cold or allergy medications, such as decongestant sprays, antihistamines, or pain relievers. It may even make the other medicines more effective by first clearing the nasal passages. Washing away heavy mucus allows medicated sprays to penetrate more effectively into the areas that they have to. Since Stérimar does not contain drugs and is just natural, it will not interact with other medicines. Be careful to wait a few minutes between uses. Apply the Stérimar first to open up the nasal passages, then apply any medicated spray or drops if prescribed by your physician. Always read the instructions of all products you’re using and ask a pharmacist if you’re unsure about combining them.

### What’s the difference between this and regular saline nasal sprays?

Stérimar Congestion Relief is a hypertonic solution, meaning it contains more salt than regular saline (which is isotonic and has the same salt level as your body’s cells). That increased salt content helps draw moisture out of swelling nasal tissues, reducing puffiness and facilitating easier breathing. That makes it stronger and more effective for de-stuffing cold, allergy, or sinusitis symptoms in the nose. Regular saline sprays are better for everyday sanitising or light moistening of dry noses, but without the same decongesting power. Therefore, if your nose is genuinely pretty congested or pressured, a hypertonic spray like Stérimar is a better choice.

### Can children use Stérimar Congestion Relief, and is it simple to administer on them?

Yes, Stérimar Congestion Relief can be used safely by children 3 years and older. It features a gentle spray and multi-angle nozzle, making it easy to administer, even to restless children. The nozzle is slender and can fit comfortably into the nose but not too far. With children, it's often better to have them tilt their head slightly to one side and then gently spray the top nostril. Always allow any excess fluid to flow out, and then wipe or blow the nose gently. Use 2 to 6 times a day as needed, depending on the degree of nasal congestion. Some children may feel a slight tingling if their nose is very irritated, but it will cease at once.

### What shall I do if I accidentally spray too much or it runs down my throat?

If you inadvertently spray too much Stérimar or find it running down your throat, don't worry—it won't harm you. Ingredients are natural sea water and minerals, and they're harmless if swallowed in minor amounts. You might notice a salty taste or a slight throat tickle, but this usually goes away quickly. To avoid this in the future, make sure you’re using the correct technique: keep the head straight (not tilted back) for regular rinsing or tilted sideways for a deeper clean. Spray gently and briefly—a quick 1- to 2-second spray is usually enough. Then let the solution drain naturally and blow your nose. Persistent discomfort or burning nose, discontinue use and talk to a pharmacist.

### Is Stérimar safe for individuals suffering from allergies, asthma, or sensitive noses?

Yes, Stérimar is a good choice for individuals suffering from allergies, asthma, or sensitive noses, as it is drug-free, preservative-free, and naturally derived. The seawater is also used to clear allergens like pollen, dust, and pet dander from the nasal passages, which can ease allergy symptoms. It also keeps the nose moist and clean, which is helpful for people with asthma or dry nasal passages. However, if your nose is irritated, you might feel a little tingling sensation on the first time using it—that usually dissolves right away. If you’ve had a severe reaction to seawater sprays before, check with a doctor first. Otherwise, it’s generally very well tolerated, even by people with sensitive systems.
