If you have hypertension, you should only need a salt tablet if you are dehydrated and there is no other form of electrolytes available to mix with water.
A dehydrated salt can be rehydrated.
you will get dehydrated
Salt tablets are typically made from sodium chloride, the chemical name for table salt. Some salt tablets may also contain other electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, or calcium to help replace minerals lost through sweat during physical activity. They are designed to help rehydrate and replenish electrolytes in the body.
Saline is distilled water with salt added into it. Dehydration isn't just the excessive loss of body water, it's also an electrolytic imbalance. When the body is dehydrated, salts have been depleted.
At a pharmasist!
Salt or salt tablets.
Uh... Why would you give anyone that is dehydrated anything but water?-Salt does not hydrate the body. Only water (H2O) will hydrate the body. Salt will help retain water, but only if you're actually drinking water, which in the context of the question is not the case.-If you're referring to a salt water solution, then I wouldn't recommend anyone drink it whether they were dehydrated or not. Drinking only salt water would result in death from dehydration.So, no in both cases.
Makes them harder to compress into tablets (and stay as tablets), and does nothing to neutralize acid.
no, they were issued to make up for the loss of salt when you sweat a lot
You need to rehydrate. Drink fresh juices, or water with a pinch of salt. If a person is severely dehydrated, they might be put on drips.
Anhydrous (dehydrated) Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, MgSO4. The formula for the hydrate is MgSO4 (4H2O)
