Dioralyte Sachets are designed to help to rehydrate those who are suffering from diarrhoea or vomiting that has caused dehydration. If you’re suffering from dehydration and need a way to rehydrate and replace the essential salts your body has lost, Dioralyte could be the perfect product for you. This product comes in three flavours: natural, citrus, and blackcurrant, in packs of 6 or 20 sachets.
Your body needs to be hydrated to function at its best, there are many reasons why you may be dehydrated, with diarrhoea and vomiting being two of the most common causes of dehydration. When you’re dehydrated, your body won’t just be missing water, but essential salts that your body needs too. If you are dehydrated, you may experience the following symptoms:
If you are feeling dehydrated, you could use rehydration sachets to help to provide your body with the water and salts it needs to avoid these symptoms and function properly.
If you’re vomiting regularly while you’re ill, you can become dehydrated. This is because your body is losing more fluids than it’s taking in, and it’s also losing essential salts and nutrients when you throw up. Your body needs water to function properly, so when you’re losing fluids through vomiting or diarrhoea you can become dehydrated quite easily.
Oral rehydration sachets like Dioralyte rehydrate your body by helping to replace the water and salts that your body loses when you are dehydrated or have diarrhoea. They contain salts and glucose, which help your body to absorb electrolytes and water more efficiently, helping to provide the perfect balance of electrolytes that your body needs to remain healthy.
If you’re taking any other medication, including those you obtained without a prescription or herbal remedies, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Dioralyte. This product can affect the way some medicines work, and it can be affected by other medicines itself, but a doctor can help you to avoid this.
You should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Some products may not be suitable for you to take at this time, and if you’re vomiting or have diarrhoea during pregnancy, then it would be a good idea to get your doctor’s advice.
Dioralyte sachets are suitable for children and babies who have diarrhoea and need rehydration. However, if your baby is younger than 2 years old, you should only give them this product under the guidance of a doctor. Your doctor will need to work out how much Dioralyte you should give to your baby, based on how much they weigh.
To use Dioralyte Sachets, just empty one sachet into a 200ml glass of water and stir until the powder dissolves. Drink after every loose stool.

Always use fresh drinking water with Dioralyte Sachets; do not dissolve the powder in anything else.
