DioraHydrate Blackcurrant Effervescent Tablets - Pack of 20

DioraHydrate® Blackcurrant Effervescent Tablets are an oral rehydration therapy (ORT) designed to help prevent and treat dehydration caused by diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, excessive sweating or fluid loss.

When dissolved in water, DioraHydrate® forms a balanced rehydration drink containing glucose and essential electrolytes. This helps the body absorb fluids more effectively and restore normal hydration levels. It is suitable for adults, children and the elderly when used as directed.

The blackcurrant flavour improves taste and palatability, encouraging regular fluid intake during illness or recovery. The effervescent tablet format provides a convenient alternative to sachets, with easy storage and preparation.
