Electrolyte Powder

Compact and light to carry, Hydralyte Electrolyte Powder sachets are a family first aid necessity.

Each 10 pack comes with a convenient 200 mL measuring cup.

Hydralyte Electrolyte Powder sachets are suitable for the entire family, including babies, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.

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.
