Electrolade Multiflavour Rehydration Sachets Pack Of 20

Rehydration Sachets Multiflavour (Electrolade) contain rehydration salts consisting of sugars and salts (anhydrous glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium bicarbonate). They are used to replace body fluids lost as a result of acute diarrhoea.ElectroladeMultiflavour solution is both clear and colourless and should be drunk fresh. Unused solution should either be discarded or covered and put in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours only. After this time excess solution should be thrown away. Ensure that the correct amount of water is added. Do not add extra sugar or salt. Diabetics should note the sugar content. Dehydration is when the body loses too much fluid and too many electrolytes (salts), such as sodium and potassium, which it needs in order to function properly. A customer can suffer from dehydration if they don't drink enough fluids or even if they drink too much alcohol. The most common cause, however, is if the customer has had a bout of diarrhoea or vomiting.When a person has acute diarrhoea, their large intestine is unable to absorb fluids. This results in the body passing watery/loose stools frequently and the overall effect is a loss of fluids as well as essential salts, which creates an imbalance. This causes symptoms such as thirst, light-headedness, headache, fatigue and producing strong-smelling urine.If dehydration is untreated it can become very serious. Special care should be taken with babies and young children. They have a low body weight and are sensitive to even small amounts of fluid loss therefore dehydration can occur more rapidly and can be more serious.The aim of treatment is to re-establish the correct balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body.

Always read all packaging and directions carefully before using your purchases.
