Dioralyte Blackcurrant Oral Electrolyte Powder (6 Sachets)

Product Summary

Fast & effective replacement of lost water and body salts.

Dioralyte helps replace essential body water and salts in the treatment of acute diarrhoea in infants, children and adults.

Early use is important to avoid dehydration, particularly in the young and elderly.

Directions

• Dissolve contents of one Dioralyte sachet in 200 ml (approx. 7 fl oz) of drinking water. Use fresh drinking water for adults and children.
• For infants, and where fresh drinking water is unavailable, the water should be freshly boiled then cooled. The solution should be made up immediately before use.
• If refrigerated, the solution may be stored for up to 24 hours, otherwise any solution remaining one hour after reconstitution should be discarded.
• Dioralyte should only be reconstituted with water and to the volume stated. A lesser or greater dilution may result in electrolyte imbalance.
