This document discusses electrolyte therapy, including normal electrolyte requirements, solutions for initial and subsequent electrolyte replacement, and the ingredients and amounts in oral rehydration salts. It lists the normal requirements in meq/L or meq/liter for electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorous. It also provides the formulation for oral rehydration salts, including the active ingredients dextrose monohydrate, potassium chloride, sodium citrate, and the amounts needed to make up 1000ml of solution.
