Hydralite Oral Rehydration Solution Apple Flavour 200 ml

Medication name: Hydralite Oral Rehydration Solution Apple Flavour 200 ml
Drug class: Oral rehydration and electrolyte replacement solution

Use:
This solution is used to prevent and treat dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or excessive sweating.
It helps restore lost fluids, electrolytes, and energy in children and adults to maintain proper hydration and balance.

How it works:
Hydralite contains a balanced combination of glucose and electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride.
The glucose enhances the absorption of sodium and water in the intestines, which allows for faster and more effective rehydration compared to plain water.
This helps replace essential salts and fluids lost during illness or heat exposure.

Dosage and administration:
The solution is ready to drink and should not be diluted.
For mild to moderate dehydration, it can be given in small, frequent sips throughout the day.
Children may be given approximately 50–100 ml per kilogram of body weight over 4–6 hours, depending on the level of dehydration.
Adults may drink as needed to replace lost fluids.
Always follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s guidance for the correct amount and duration.

Side effects:
Hydralite is generally well tolerated.
Mild bloating, nausea, or temporary stomach discomfort may occasionally occur.
If vomiting persists or signs of severe dehydration remain (such as dry mouth, sunken eyes, or decreased urination), seek medical attention promptly.

Precautions:
Do not mix with other liquids such as milk, juice, or soft drinks, as this may alter the electrolyte balance.
Consult a doctor before use in infants under 1 month or in patients with kidney disease, heart failure, or fluid retention.
Use only as directed for oral rehydration.

Storage:
Store at room temperature below 25 °C, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Once opened, refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
Discard any unused solution after this period and keep out of reach of children.
