According to the Specialist Pharmacy Service (SPS), St Marks fluid is a specially formulated, potassium-free oral rehydration solution (ORS) that is not commercially available and must be prepared at home. This unique glucose-electrolyte mixture is primarily used for patients with gastrointestinal conditions, such as short bowel syndrome, who have a high stoma or fistula output and are at risk of dehydration.
