Refer to Administration Guide for management of mild to moderate dehydration secondary to moderate to severe diarrhea. Rehydralyte should be offered frequently in amounts tolerated. Total daily intake should be adjusted to meet individual needs, based on thirst and response to therapy. The suggested intakes for replacement are based on fluid losses of 5% to 10% of body weight, including maintenance requirement, which is based on water requirements for ordinary energy expenditure. ¹

*Administration Guide does not apply to infants less than 1 week of age. For children over 4 years, maintenance intakes alone may exceed 2 liters daily. If there is vomiting or fever, or if diarrhea continues beyond 24 hours, consult the child's physician.

¶Fluid intake is total fluid requirement from oral electrolyte solution, formula or other fluids, but does not take into account ongoing stool losses. Fluid loss in the stool should be replaced by consumption of an extra amount of Rehydralyte equal to stool losses, in addition to the fluid maintenance requirements in this Administration Guide.
