What it is
Hydralyte is an oral rehydration solution which is scientifically formulated to replace electrolytes lost due to, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, heavy sweating and other dehydrating conditions.
What it does
When children and adults are sick and suffering from nausea, sucking slowly on the frozen Ice Blocks makes it easier to rehydrate.
One advantage of Hydralyte Ice Blocks is that children think of them more as a frozen treat rather than a medicine.
TIP: Offer Hydralyte frozen electrolyte ice blocks to children when they are sweaty on hot days (rather than a sugary icy pole).
Hydralyte Electrolyte Ice Blocks are suitable for the entire family, including babies, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
