Convenient, compact and highly portable Hydralyte Effervescent Electrolyte tablets are perfect for travel and on the go.
Hydralyte Electrolyte Effervescent Tablets are suitable for the entire family.
When to take?
- Hydralyte may be taken on the first signs of fluid loss due to vomiting and diarrhoea.
- Hydralyte may also be taken to help manage dehydration due to the loss of fluids through heavy sweating. This can be caused by a hot or dry environment, fever or strenuous exercise.
- Hydralyte helps to restore fluid lost as a result of the diuretic effect of alcohol, and is best taken before you go to bed.
Directions:
- Remove two tablets from the tube and replace the cap tightly. Dissolve in 200 mL of drinking water (2-3 minutes).
- For babies under 6 months use freshly boiled and cooled water.
- Sip slowly and frequently while symptoms persist. Discard unused solution after 2 hours or 24 hours if refrigerated.
