Dioralyte Relief Blackcurrant Sachets - 20 Sachets

Product Description

Dioralyte Relief Blackcurrant is recommended for the replacement of essential body water & salts in the treatment of acute diarrhoea. During diarrhoea the body loses water & salts & Dioralyte Relief Blackcurrant replaces these whilst at the same time helping watery stools return to normal more rapidly. Early use is important to avoid dehydration, especially in the young & elderly. How to use Dioralyte Relief Blackcurrant Make up the contents of one sachet in 200ml (approx 7 fluid ounces) of drinking water. Use fresh drinking water for adults & children. Where drinking water is unavailable use freshly boiled & cooled water. The liquid should be made up immediately before use & any remaining liquid should not be used after 1 hour or 24 hours if liquid kept refrigerated. This remaining liquid should be discarded.
