Popis: | BACKGROUND AND AIM: The World Health Organization recommends oral zinc (tablets or syrups) as adjunct therapy with oral rehydration solution (ORS) for acute childhood diarrhea. Mixing zinc with ORS can be an attractive approach for simultaneous provision of these 2 effective interventions. This double-masked randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of ORS containing 40 mg/L elemental zinc per liter (zinc-ORS) in reducing stool weight and duration of diarrhea. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Five hundred northern Indian children ages 1 to 35 months with diarrhea |
