Dehydration escalates fast in the very young and old
Product overview
About Dioralyte Blackcurrant
When you have diarrhoea, the danger isn't the diarrhoea — it's what leaves with it. Dioralyte replaces the water and body salts lost during an episode, fast and effectively, using the glucose-and-electrolyte balance that makes the body absorb fluid far better than water alone. Blackcurrant flavour, 6 sachets.
Why not just drink water
Plain water replaces the fluid but not the sodium and potassium, and without the right glucose ratio the gut absorbs it slowly. Oral rehydration salts are one of modern medicine's genuinely great simple inventions — the formulation is why they work so much better than they look like they should.
How to take
Dissolve each sachet in 200ml of fresh drinking water — not fruit juice, not squash, which changes the balance. Take after each loose stool, following the pack for adults and children. Use within an hour, or keep refrigerated and use within 24.
Good to know
Essential kit for travel, and for households with children. Get advice for babies, and for anyone who can't keep fluids down, is drowsy, or has diarrhoea beyond 48 hours — dehydration escalates faster in the very young and the elderly.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just drink water?
Water replaces fluid but not the sodium and potassium you lose, and the gut absorbs it more slowly. Dioralyte's glucose-electrolyte balance is what makes it work so much better.
What do I dissolve it in?
200ml of fresh drinking water only — not juice or squash, which upsets the balance the formula depends on.
When do I need more than rehydration?
If fluids can't be kept down, there's drowsiness, or diarrhoea lasts beyond 48 hours — and sooner for babies and older adults.
