Oralade concentrates on rethinking hydration with sachet launch

Macahl Animal Health has rolled out its new Oralade Liquid Concentrate, which is says provides an easier way to stock and dispense the UK’s number one oral hydration.

The liquid concentrate sachets can be added to water, and provide the same palatability and scientifically formulated features as the bottled version, but without the same level of packaging.

As part of its launch and the company’s activity at London Vet Show, Macahl is encouraging vets and VNs to rethink hydration in cats and dogs and consider oral hydration as an alternative to IV fluid therapy.

Benefits

Macahl said Oralade’s scientific formulation covers:

• Pre-hydration: maintaining health and vitality. Isotonic solution helps support optimal absorption of fluids and electrolytes to proactively manage hydration when increased fluid loss or decreased fluid intake is anticipated.
• Rehydration: supporting fluid and electrolyte balance. Fast-acting oral rehydration solution (ORS) formulated to activate glucose-stimulated sodium (and water) absorption from the intestinal lumen.
• Microenteral GI support: helping maintain intestinal function and integrity. A unique combination of simple sugars, functional amino acids, and easily digestible prebiotic fibres work synergistically to provide direct enterocyte nourishment and support gut microflora in anorexic patients.
