Normally in stock

This reflects what we normally carry, not a live stock count. Please call ahead if you need it urgently.

Over the counter

Salts dissolved in clean water to replace what the body loses in diarrhoea and vomiting. For a child with diarrhoea this matters more than any other medicine.

What it is used for

Preventing and treating dehydration from diarrhoea or vomiting.

Before you take it

Mix with the exact amount of clean water stated on the sachet. Stronger is not better and can be dangerous. Take a child to hospital if they are drowsy, sunken-eyed, not passing urine or unable to keep fluids down.
