Oral Electrolytes
Fluid Therapy- Fluids must be administered that will concentrate within the body fluid compartment where the volume deficit lies. Crystalloids are water-based solutions with small-molecular-weight particles, freely permeable to the capillary membrane. Colloids are water-based solutions with a molecular weight too large to freely pass across the capillary membrane. Colloids are thought of as intravascular volume replacement solutions, and crystalloids as interstitial volume replacement solutions

Core medicines
The core list presents a list of minimum medicine needs for primary healthcare services, listing the most efficacious, safe and cost-effective medicines for priority conditions. Priority conditions are selected based on current and estimated future public/animal health relevance, and potential for safe and cost-effective treatment.
Complementary medicines
The complementary list presents essential medicines for priority diseases, for which specialized diagnostic or monitoring facilities, and/or specialist medical care, and/or specialist training are needed. In case of doubt, medicines may also be listed as complementary based on consistently higher cost or less attractive cost-effectiveness in a variety of settings and wide availability in the profession.
