Description

Dioralyte Blackcurrant Sachets

Dioralyte Blackcurrant is an oral rehydration treatment for dehydration caused by diarrhoea, vomiting or heavy fluid loss. It comes as sachets of powder that are made up with water, and the blackcurrant flavour makes it easier to get down when you feel unwell.

How it works

Dehydration is not only a loss of water. Sodium, potassium and other electrolytes go with it, and that imbalance is what causes the weakness, headache and light headedness. An oral rehydration solution supplies water, salts and glucose in a specific ratio, and the glucose is the key part: it drives the absorption of sodium and water across the gut wall, so fluid is taken up far more efficiently than from water alone.

How to use it

Dissolve each sachet in the volume of water stated on the pack, using cooled boiled water for infants, and take it in small frequent sips rather than large drinks, which are more likely to be brought back up. Make up a fresh solution as directed and do not keep it beyond the period the pack allows. Follow the number of sachets per episode given for your age group.

Who it is for

It is for adults and children as stated on the pack, during or after an episode of diarrhoea or vomiting. A pharmacist should be consulted before use in infants, and anyone with kidney disease or on a restricted salt or potassium diet should check first.

Safety and when to get advice

Seek medical advice for diarrhoea lasting more than a few days, blood in the stool, severe abdominal pain, a high fever, vomiting that prevents fluids staying down, or signs of significant dehydration such as very little urine, sunken eyes, drowsiness or confusion. Babies, young children and older adults dehydrate faster and need advice sooner. Our UK pharmacy team can answer questions about this product before you buy.

Common questions

Why not just drink water?
Water alone does not replace lost salts, and the glucose in the solution helps the body absorb fluid faster.

Can I give it to a baby?
Speak to a pharmacist, GP or health visitor first, and use cooled boiled water to make it up.

Can I make a batch for the day?
Follow the pack, which states how long a made up solution can be kept.

Always read the patient information leaflet supplied with the pack before use.

Directions

Dioralyte Blackcurrant is simple to use, and its convenience in sachet form allows for easy preparation. To prepare and consume Dioralyte Blackcurrant:
Empty the contents of one sachet into a glass.
Add about 200ml (7 fluid ounces) of drinking water to the glass.
Stir until the contents fully dissolve.
Drink the solution.
It's essential to follow these directions for use carefully. You can repeat the process as needed, but ensure not to exceed the recommended dose. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.
