 | | Notably, all oral rehydration compositions have a significant content of simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, or maltose for the purpose of improving organoleptic acceptance, and, more importantly, for the perceived notion that these simple sugars are essential in oral rehydration solutions because of their carrying power that enables the metabolic absorption of the ions. |
 | | While it is preferable to have less than 300 milliosmoles for rehydration solutions, it may be suitable to have up to 400 milliosmoles for those rehydration solutions that are intended to be utilized on a one time basis, for example, in the case of delivering vaccines. |
 | | Rehydration solutions, which are intended for continuous use or are expected to be consumed on a regular basis, such as to inhibit or diminish diarrhea, or for purposes of sweat replacement, preferably are less than 300 milliosmoles. |
