Directions

Always use Dioralyte Relief exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Preparing this medicine

Dioralyte Relief must be mixed with water before taking.

  • Use fresh drinking water for adults and children over 1 year old. If fresh water is not available, use
    water which has been freshly boiled and cooled
  • Only dissolve the powder in water. Do not dissolve it in anything else
  • Prepare just before the medicine is going to be taken. Do not make in advance. If you are giving it to a baby over the course of the day, you can keep the drink in a refrigerator for up to 24 hours
  • Always use water which has been freshly boiled and cooled for babies aged 3 months to 1 year
    Empty the contents of 1 sachet into a glass
  1. Add 200ml (7fl oz) of water
  2. 3 Stir until the powder dissolves
  3. When your medicine is fully dissolved, the drink will look milky

Do not use more or less than 200 ml of water. If you do, the drink will become too weak or too strong. It will not work as well. You may also upset the balance of salts in your body.

How many sachets to take

Adults (including the elderly) and children over 1 year

  • You can take up to 5 sachets each day, for up to 3 to 4 days. Do not take more than 5 sachets in 24 hours
  • One sachet after each loose stool

Babies aged 3 months to 1 year (to be given under the guidance of a doctor)

  • The amount depends on how much the baby weighs. The usual dose is 150-200 ml of the drink for each kg of the baby’s weight, each day. This can be given over 24 hours
  • Give half the drink during the first 8 hours and the other half during the next 16 hours
  • Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure how much to give
  • If your baby is being sick, you can give 5-10 ml (one or two teaspoons) every 5 minutes. This can be gradually increased until they are able to drink normally

If you take more Dioralyte Relief than you should

Dioralyte Relief is not normally harmful if you take more than you should. However, if large amounts are taken, you should talk to a doctor or go to a hospital straight away. This is particularly important if it is a child or baby. Take the medicine pack with you.

If you forget to take your Dioralyte Relief

Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Take the next dose when you need to. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
