Dioralyte Relief Blackcurrant Sachets - 6 Sachets

Dioralyte Relief Blackcurrant Flavour

Treatment of acute diarrhoea.

What is Dioralyte Relief Blackcurrant Flavour?

Dioralyte Relief is recommended for the replacement of essential body water and salts in the treatment of acute diarrhoea. During diarrhoea, the body loses water and salts and Dioralyte Relief replaces these whilst also helping watery stools return to normal more rapidly. This is because these also contain rice powder to help bulk up stools. Early use is important to avoid dehydration, especially in the young and elderly.

Causes of Dehydration:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Excessive sweating, e.g. during exercise, when overheating in the sun
• Medications that make you pee more often (diuretics)
• Drinking too much alcohol, which is a diuretic
• Diabetes
