Hydralyte Orange Electrolyte Sachets – Fast Rehydration for Gastro, Fever & Exercise

Each sachet dissolves in water to create a refreshing orange-flavoured drink that rehydrates more effectively than water or sports drinks alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use Hydralyte sachets?

Use Hydralyte sachets when you or your child has gastroenteritis (vomiting and/or diarrhoea), fever, heat exhaustion, or prolonged exercise. Also useful after alcohol consumption or during travel to prevent dehydration.

Is Hydralyte better than sports drinks for rehydration?

Yes, for medical rehydration. Hydralyte uses a WHO-approved electrolyte formula with the correct sodium-to-glucose ratio for optimal water absorption in the gut. Sports drinks have too much sugar and too little sodium for effective medical rehydration.

How do I prepare Hydralyte sachets?

Dissolve one sachet in 200ml of water (room temperature or cold). Stir until fully dissolved and drink immediately. Do not add extra sugar or dilute further, as this changes the electrolyte balance.

Can babies or toddlers use Hydralyte?

Hydralyte sachets are suitable for children aged 2 and over. For infants under 2, consult your doctor or Plunket nurse before using any oral rehydration product, as infants may require specific formulations.

How many sachets can I take per day?

Follow the dosing instructions on the product label. For adults and older children, multiple sachets can be taken per day during illness. If vomiting prevents fluid retention or symptoms persist, seek medical advice promptly.
