Dioralyte is a fast and effective rehydration treatment that helps replace the fluids and body salts lost during an episode of diarrhoea.
Each sachet of Dioralyte is carefully formulated with a balance of essential body salts for your well-being and glucose to aid in the efficient absorption of salts and water.
For best results, use a Dioralyte sachet as soon as diarrhoea symptoms begin and after each subsequent episode.
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Dioralyte is fairly well tolerated when used properly, though if nauseous it may cause worsened nausea if ingested too quickly.
Symptoms of allergic reaction include a rash, swallowing or breathing problems or swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat.
If your child experiences these or any other side effects while taking this medicine seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

- The child taking the medicine is under 3 months old
- You have liver disease, reduced kidney function or epilepsy
