Helpful Product Information
Dioralyte is an oral rehydration therapy. Sodium and glucose are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, creating an osmotic gradient that assists the absorption of water and electrolytes.
Correct dilution is important. Every sachet must be dissolved in 200ml of water. Using substantially more or less water can alter the intended electrolyte concentration and may cause electrolyte imbalance.
When vomiting accompanies diarrhoea, small quantities of the prepared solution may be taken frequently.
