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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Call the doctor immediately when signs of dehydration are present.
  • These include: severe thirst, doughy skin, sunken eyes.
