Just went and got Eilish's salt powder to read the label. It says "

sodium chloride compound powder " . That is what it is called. On the

back of the label it says '

Electrolyte content per gram =

Na+1mmol, K+0.23mmol, CI 0.28mmol

Dissolve the prescribed amount in water and take as directed.

Hope this helps.

p.s. we get it from the hsp. pharmacy

Australian Mums - Help with salt powder questions

please!

I spoke with a pharmacist yesterday who didn't know what salt powder

was, but was able to find some and order it. The pharmacy called me

today and verified that it was in and that I didn't need a perscription

to pick it up. When I asked what the bottle said they told me " equal

parts of sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate " , " mix 2tsp. in 1 quart

water for irrigation or use as directed by a physician " . Is this the

same as your salt powder? I know one of you said that your pharmacy

made their own. If your bottle doesn't say what specifically it's made

of, would you call and ask them? I haven't picked it up yet, so I don't

know how it tastes. I don't want to give it to Leila until I'm sure the

sodium bicarbonate part is right. Thank you very much for your help!!

P.S. Is salt powder dosed the same as regular table salt? And also,

what's a cordial? The only cordials I'm familiar with are cherry

cordials (as in the the chocolate covered cherries - my personal fav )
