E-drug: Re: Oral rehydration salts (ORS) - formulation (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sugar Salt Solution can be made by :

6 teaspoons of sugar (sucrose)
half a teaspoon salt
750ml clean drinking water

Can any one tell me what the equivalent number of teaspoons of dextrose 
powder
would be equivalent to 6 teaspoons of sucrose?
