Dioralyte Natural 6 sachets


For the treatment of fluid and electrolyte loss associated with acute diarrhoea in infants, children and adults.

Dioralyte sachets contain rehydration salts consisting of sugars and salts (glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and disodium hydrogen citrate). They are used to replace body fluids lost as a result of acute diarrhoea.

Diarrhoea makes you lose more fluids and electrolytes (salts such as sodium and potassium) than you usually would and can make you dehydrated. Sachets of rehydration salts are used to replace body fluids lost as a result of diarrhoea. This is particularly important in frail and elderly people and children with diarrhoea.

The contents of the sachets are dissolved in water to provide the fluid. The sugar (glucose) that is in the sachets helps the water and electrolytes to be absorbed from the intestines.

Powder containing:
Sodium chloride 0.47 g
Glucose anhydrous 3.56 g
Potassium chloride 0.3 g
Disodium hydrogen citrate 0.53 g

Dosage:
Adults: contents of 1 or 2 sachets dissolved in 200ml of fresh drinking water after each loose motion, follow manufacturers guidance.
The solution should be made up immediately before use and used within one hour.
