Dioralyte Relief Raspberry – 6 sachets

Description

Dioralyte Relief Raspberry – 6 sachets

Dioralyte Relief Raspberry is an oral rehydration therapy used to replace fluids, salts, and energy lost due to diarrhoea and vomiting. It helps to prevent and treat dehydration caused by acute diarrhoea in adults and children.

⸻

How It Works

Dioralyte Relief contains a carefully balanced mixture of salts (electrolytes), glucose, and rice powder, which work together to help your body absorb water more effectively from the gut. The rice starch also helps to reduce the frequency and volume of loose stools, making it particularly helpful during acute diarrhoea. This combination restores the body’s natural fluid and electrolyte balance quickly and safely.

Directions for Use

Each sachet should be dissolved in 200 ml of fresh drinking water (not fruit juice or milk) and taken immediately after preparation. For adults and children over 12 years: take 1–2 sachets after each loose bowel motion. For children aged 3–12 years: give 1 sachet after each loose bowel motion. For infants under 3 years: use only under medical supervision. Continue to take until diarrhoea stops. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
