The product must only be used at the recommended dilution. DOSAGE: Oral fluid replacement and maintenance therapy must be tailored to individual patients needs. The volume of solution used will depend on the weight and age of the patient, using the basic principle of firstly rehydrating the patient by replacing lost fluid and thereafter maintaining fluid replacement in line with the volume of fluid lost from stools or vomiting plus normal daily requirements. As a basic guide, a daily intake of 150 ml/kg bodyweight for infants (under 2 years of age) or 20-40ml/kg for adults and children is needed.
