Uses

Storage
  • Store un-opened container at room temperature away from light, heat or moisture.
  • Do not store in the bathroom.
  • After using, replace the cap, refrigerate (do not freeze) and use within 48 hours.
  • Do not re-use the container.


Overdose
  • If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately.

How To Use
  • Do not add water.
  • The solution is ready-to-use.
  • The total amount to be given is determined by the severity of vomiting or diarrhea and the degree of dehydration.
  • You may need to contact your doctor for the exact amount to be given and for how long.
  • Generally one to two ounces per pound of body weight is given over a period of 2 to 4 hours in this manner: one teaspoonful every 10 to 15 minutes for 30 minutes; if this is tolerated, give one tablespoonful every 15 to 20 minutes followed by two tablespoonfuls every 30 minutes.
  • If not tolerated or if diarrhea persists, contact the doctor.
  • The amount given each time may be gradually increased until 4 to 6 ounces (120 to 180 ml) can be given every 3 to 4 hours so that 1 to 2 quarts (1 to 2 liters) are taken per day while the diarrhea continues (adults may need more).

Side Effects
  • A common side effect that usually goes away during treatment is mild vomiting.
  • If it continues, call the doctor.
  • Call the doctor immediately if any of the following effects occur: convulsions or seizures, dizziness, rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, irritability, muscle twitching, restlessness, weakness, swelling of feet or lower legs, puffy eyelids.
  • If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions
  • This solution should not be given when: there is an inability to drink (as in cases of shock), persistent vomiting is present, stool losses are greater than 2 ounces per pound of body weight (100ml per kg) per hour--this is about 2 quarts (2 liters) per hour for a 30 pound (14 kg) child, there is difficulty urinating, intestinal blockage is present.
  • Call the doctor immediately when signs of dehydration are present.
  • These include: severe thirst, doughy skin, sunken eyes.
  • Avoid other electrolyte-containing foods or liquids, such as fruit juices or foods with added salt, until treatment with Naturalyte is completed.
  • Breast-fed infants should be given breast milk between doses of the solution.

Missed Dose
  • This solution is given on an as-needed basis.
  • Follow the package directions.

Drug Interactions
  • Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medication (including nonprescription), such as: home remedies for diarrhea or vomiting.
  • Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
