What symptoms or conditions can be treated with Dioralyte?

Dioralyte is designed to treat dehydration resulting from diarrhoea, vomiting, or excessive sweating. It’s also useful for managing fluid loss due to heat exhaustion, strenuous physical activity, or alcohol consumption.

What are the benefits of using Dioralyte?

Dioralyte’s primary advantage lies in its ability to swiftly replenish fluids and electrolytes, effectively preventing or treating dehydration. It offers more efficient restoration of the body’s electrolyte balance compared to water alone, helping to alleviate symptoms like fatigue and dizziness.

How does Dioralyte work?

Dioralyte combines glucose with electrolytes to facilitate rapid water absorption in the small intestine. The glucose enhances sodium and water uptake, while the electrolytes help restore the body's mineral balance, promoting effective rehydration and normal bodily functions.

Can Dioralyte be used for hangovers?

Dioralyte can be beneficial in managing hangovers. Since alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration, the electrolyte balance in Dioralyte helps replenish lost fluids and minerals, potentially easing hangover symptoms such as headaches and fatigue.

Is Dioralyte suitable for use during pregnancy?

Dioralyte is generally regarded as safe for use during pregnancy. However, it's recommended to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if experiencing morning sickness or dehydration during pregnancy.

How long can I store Dioralyte once it's mixed?

After mixing with water, Dioralyte solution should ideally be consumed immediately. If refrigerated, it can be stored for up to 24 hours. Discard any unused solution after this period to ensure safety and effectiveness.
