Dioralyte Sachets Blackcurrant (20 sachets )

One sachet of Dioralyte should be taken after every loose bowel movement. Open the sachet, and empty the contents into 200ml of fresh drinking water. Stir until the medicine has dissolved completely, and drink the mixture. 200ml is required for the correct electrolyte balance, so keep as close to this quantity as possible. If no drinking water is available, boil the water and let it cool. To be safe, boil and cool all water before treating an infant with Dioralyte.
The solution can be refrigerated but should not be stored for more than 24 hours.
