- " In the Amylyte-treated group, ORS requirements were significantly less (234 +/- 15.2 vs 295 +/- 17.6 mL/kg; P < .01) and weight gain was significantly more (367.7 +/- 45.1 vs 199.2 +/- 38.2 g; P < .01) than in those given the WHO-ORS. " 02/01/1995
- " Amylyte-ORS effectively rehydrates children with acute diarrhea, reduces diarrhea duration, decreases ORS requirements, and improves weight gain compared to the WHO-ORS." 02/01/1995
- " In this study, we have compared the effects of the World Health Organization oral rehydration solution (WHO ORS) and an ORS containing short polymers of glucose (Amylyte ORS) at a high caloric density (five times) and comparable osmolality, on stool output, duration of diarrhea, weight gain and fluid and electrolyte balance, in randomized, open-labeled, controlled clinical trials in five centers.
