Dioralyte Rebalance is an oral rehydration therapy containing a balanced combination of electrolytes which include glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and disodium hydrogen citrate.

It is recommended for the replacement of essential water and salt loss which can happen for various reasons including when you have diarrhoea.

Do not take Dioralyte Rebalance and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if:

 You are allergic (hypersensitive) to glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and disodium hydrogen citrate or any of the other ingredients of Dioralyte Rebalance

 Your bowel is partially or fully blocked (called intestinal obstruction)

Do not take this medicine if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Dioralyte Rebalance.

Children

For infants under 24 months use only on medical advice. Infants under the age of 24 months that have diarrhoea should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible.

How to take Dioralyte Rebalance

If you are not sure how to take this medicine, check with your doctor or pharmacist

Preparing this medicine:

Dioralyte Rebalance must be mixed with water before taking.

- Prepare the solution just before it 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.

- Only dissolve the powder in water. Do not dissolve in anything else.

- Always use water that has been freshly boiled and cooled for babies aged 3 months to 1 year.

If your child is under 24 months talk to your doctor before using Dioralyte Rebalance.

Directions:

1) Empty the contents of 1 sachet into a glass

2) Add 200 ml (7 fl oz) of water

3) Stir until the powder dissolves

When your medicine is fully dissolved, the drink will be a colourless solution.

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

- If you are being sick (vomiting) take the medicine in small sips

- If you have diarrhoea, it is best not to eat during the early stages. If diarrhoea lasts for more

than 24 to 36 hours see your doctor
