About Dioralyte Blackcurrant Sachets

Dioralyte Blackcurrant Sachets are an oral rehydration therapy designed to replace essential water and body salts lost during diarrhoea. By restoring the body’s natural electrolyte balance, these sachets help prevent and treat dehydration effectively. Each sachet is easy to prepare, creating a palatable blackcurrant-flavoured drink when dissolved in water.

Dioralyte is suitable for adults, children, and infants (when used under medical guidance) and is available in a pack size of 20 sachets.

What Is Dioralyte Blackcurrant Used For?

Dioralyte Blackcurrant is used to combat dehydration by replacing fluids and essential body salts lost during bouts of diarrhoea. It helps restore the body’s hydration levels, which is crucial for recovery during illness.

Who Is Dioralyte Suitable For?

Dioralyte is suitable for adults and children.

Do not use Dioralyte if you:

How to Use Dioralyte Blackcurrant Sachets

1. Empty the contents of one sachet into a glass.
2. Add exactly 200ml (7 fl oz) of fresh drinking water.
3. Stir well until the powder fully dissolves.
4. Drink the solution immediately; discard any remaining drink after 1 hour (or 24 hours if stored in a refrigerator).

Do not dissolve the powder in anything other than water, and do not use more or less than 200ml, as this may affect the balance of salts in the solution.
