Dioralyte Sachets Blackcurrant - 6 Sachets

Dioralyte® Sachets Blackcurrant are an oral rehydration therapy (ORT) used to help replace fluids and essential salts lost due to diarrhoea and vomiting.

Dioralyte® works by restoring the body’s natural balance of water, electrolytes and glucose, helping to prevent or treat dehydration. It is suitable for adults, children and the elderly when used as directed and is commonly recommended for gastroenteritis, stomach upsets, food poisoning and travel-related diarrhoea.

The blackcurrant flavour is designed to improve palatability, particularly for children, helping encourage regular fluid intake during illness.

Key features:
