Phone 0800 035 2525 for help SRead all of this leaflet carefully because it contains important information for you. The drink should be made up just before it is going to be taken. Throw away any remaining drink after 1 hour (or 24 hours if stored in a refrigerator). It is important that the correct volume of water is used for reconstitution as too concentrated a solution may give rise to hyperosmolar diarrhoea or hypernatraemia and solution that is too dilute will not contain the optimal glucose and electrolyte concentration resulting in inadequate replacement. In the initial stages of treatment of diarrhoea all foods, including cow's or artificial milk, should be stopped. However breast milk need not be withheld. In breast fed infants it is suggested that the infant is given the same volume of Dioralyte as the bottle fed baby andthen put to the breast until satisfied. Expression of residual milk from the breasts may be necessary during this period. After 24 - 48 hours, when symptoms have subsided, the normal diet should be resumed but this should be gradual to avoid exacerbation of the condition. Solution should be used immediately or with in 1 hour of reconstitution. Although solution can be stored for up to 24 hours in the fridge. Pregnancy and Lactation PregnancyAll foods (including cows milk) should be stopped for 24 hours and gradually reintroduced when the diarrhoea has lessened.

Your baby may need less breast milk so you may need to express some of your milk Patients with renal or hepatic diseases should use oral rehydration salts only under medical supervision.
