Therapeutic indications:

Helps replace water and electrolytes lost due to vomiting, diarrhoea, heavy sweating, fever, vigorous exercise and other dehydrating conditions such as excessive consumption of alcohol or due to a hot or dry environment. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluid and essential mineral salts (electrolytes) than it needs to function properly. This happens after vomiting or bouts of diarrhoea. Dehydration can also occur after sweating from excessive heat or exercise, fever, or due to a lack of fluid intake during times of ill health or nausea, or after consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Dehydration following vomiting or diarrhoea can be dangerous in babies, young children under 5 years old and in elderly people. Hydralyte Electrolyte Solution is a specifically formulated electrolyte solution containing balanced essential electrolytes. It contains sodium - an electrolyte essential for water retention and rapid water uptake; and potassium - vital for nerve and muscle function. It also contains glucose to assist with the absorption of electrolytes and water. Avoid mixing Hydralyte with soft drink, sports drink, cordial or fruit juice as these can interfere with the rehydration process or worsen the dehydration. Hydralyte is readily absorbed making it possible to rehydrate quickly. Suitable for paediatric use.
