Dioralyte Sachets Blackcurrant

Dioralyte Sachets prevent dehydration by replacing fluids lost due to diarrhoea or acute vomiting. The sachets contain a pleasant-tasting powder, which is dissolved in a glass of water. This adds electrolytes to the water, which helps the body to absorb more fluids. Dioralyte can be used by people of all ages, including infants. Preventing dehydration is especially important for the elderly and the young.

Dioralyte is most often used alongside an antibiotic in treating traveller’s diarrhoea. This is a condition that occurs after consuming contaminated food or drinking water, usually in a foreign country. It is most often caused by a bacterial infection, though in some cases, it can be caused by a virus or parasite. There are a number of precautions that can be taken while travelling, which will minimise your risk of contracting traveller’s diarrhoea. Avoid drinking tap water, and only eat food that has been properly prepared. It is important to take care of your own hygiene as well.

Dioralyte not only replaces the fluids lost during vomiting and diarrhoea, it also replaces lost electrolytes that are just as important to keeping you healthy.
