E-Lyte Oral Rehydration information page...

E-Lyte assists in the treatment of dehydration.  Dehydration is a loss of fluid from the body, which occurs, for example, in diarrhoea, particularly watery diarrhoea, vomiting or following vigorous and prolonged exercise.

Uses: Whatever the cause of diarrhoea, the loss of fluid is potentially dangerous to the extent of being life threatening especially to babies, small children and the elderly.

Loss of body fluids as a result of vigorous exercise can also inhibit performance.  People who are enthusiastic or competitive sports participants look for a more scientific and effective formula to be taken before and after vigorous exercise.  E-Lyte is one such product.

Active Ingredients:

Balanced blackcurrant flavoured electrolyte solution, when made according to directions.

Directions for Use:

Dissolve 2 tablets in 200ml of water (by measure) and take as required or as directed by a physician.  Repeat after each loose bowel motion.  If vomiting, sip small quantities frequently.

Warning:

Only use water to dissolve E-Lyte tablets or dilute the resulting solution.  Never dilute with lemonade, soft drinks, fruit juice, cordial or any other fluid.

General:

E-Lyte tablets dissolve quickly and work fast to replace fluid and electrolytes.

Total osmoladity, when the solution is reconstituted: 240 mOsm/L

This solution should be prepared immediately before use and any unused solution should be discarded after 1 hour.  If refrigerated, it may be stored for 24 hours.  Seek medical advice if diarrhoea persists for more than 6 hours in infants under 6 months, 12 hours in children 6 months to 3 years, 24 hours in children 3-6 years and 48 hours in children over 6 years and adults.  This preparation contains 276mg of sodium per dose (two tablets), which should be taken into account by those on a low sodium diet.
