Macrolyte (Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Macrogol 3350)

Sodium hydrogen carbonate contributes sodium ions that help maintain plasma osmolality and support water absorption in the intestines. Together with potassium chloride, sodium chloride and macrogol 3350, it creates an isotonic environment that facilitates rapid rehydration while correcting electrolyte deficits.

The appropriate dose of Macrolyte is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, degree of dehydration and electrolyte status. The prescriber will specify the volume and frequency needed to achieve safe and effective rehydration.

Safety data for Macrolyte in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.

To order Macrolyte, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, providing the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then replies with pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Macrolyte contains a balanced mix of sodium, potassium, chloride and macrogol 3350, offering both electrolyte replacement and an osmotic agent for enhanced water absorption. Compared with standard ORS formulations that may lack macrogol, Macrolyte can provide more efficient fluid uptake, especially in cases of moderate to severe dehydration.

Macrolyte should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and store it in its original packaging to maintain product stability.

Macrolyte is taken orally. The prescribed volume is measured using a calibrated cup or syringe and consumed slowly. It may be given in divided doses throughout the day, depending on the severity of dehydration and the prescriber’s instructions.

Serious risks include hypernatremia or hyperkalemia if excessive amounts are ingested, especially in patients with renal impairment or those receiving other electrolyte‑containing therapies. Allergic reactions such as rash, itching or swelling may also occur and require immediate medical attention.

Macrolyte should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients, in patients with severe hypernatremia or hyperkalemia, and in those with conditions that require strict fluid or electrolyte restriction unless directed by a healthcare professional.
