It contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride, trisodium citrate, and glucose dissolved in water at a total osmolarity of 245 mOsm/L. The solution is prepared by dissolving the packet contents in 100ml of boiled and cooled water. A homemade ORS can be prepared with 6 teaspoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 liter of boiled drinking water.
