How to Use Dioralyte

To prepare Dioralyte, empty the contents of one sachet into 200ml (approximately 7 fl oz) of fresh drinking water for adults and children. For infants and in situations where fresh drinking water is not available, use freshly boiled and cooled water. The solution should be prepared just before use. If refrigerated, you can store the solution for up to 24 hours. Any solution left after one hour from reconstitution should be discarded. Always ensure that you reconstitute Dioralyte with the specified volume of water, as a different dilution may lead to an electrolyte imbalance.

Dosage – unless prescribed otherwise by your doctor

Adults (including elderly): One or two sachets after every loose motion (each sachet dissolved in 200mls of water).

Children: One sachet after every loose motion.

Infants up to the age of 2: One to one and a half times the normal 24-hour feed volume using Dioralyte solution prepared as directed above. If the illness is not improving within 24-48 hours, consult your doctor. When vomiting is present with the diarrhea, it is recommended that small amounts be taken frequently.

Hazards and Cautions

Precautions: If you are suffering from intestinal obstruction, diabetes, kidney or liver failure, or are on a low potassium or sodium diet, ask your doctor or pharmacist before using Dioralyte.

**Infants under the age of 2 years with diarrhea should be seen by a physician as soon as possible.
