Pedialyte 45 (Electrolyte Rehydration)

Pedialyte 45 is a clinically formulated oral rehydration solution designed to restore and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance during episodes of dehydration. Each 500 mL bottle contains a precise formulation with 45 mEq/L of sodium chloride, 20 mEq/L of potassium, and glucose in an optimal ratio to support rapid absorption and rehydration.

This therapeutic beverage is indicated for the prevention and treatment of mild to moderate dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, gastroenteritis, and other fluid-loss conditions. Unlike plain water, Pedialyte 45 provides essential electrolytes that the body loses during gastrointestinal disturbances, making it particularly effective for managing acute dehydration in both children and adults.

Pedialyte 45 is available in popular flavors including Fruit and Bubble Gum, making it palatable for patients of all ages. The solution requires no mixing or dilution—simply consume in small, frequent sips for optimal absorption. Each bottle is sealed and shelf-stable at temperatures below 30°C when unopened. After opening, refrigerate and consume within 48 hours to maintain safety and efficacy.

Usage is straightforward: drink in small, frequent sips without diluting with water or other beverages, as this may compromise the electrolyte balance. Medical consultation is recommended if vomiting, fever, or diarrhea persists beyond 24 hours, as these may indicate a condition requiring professional assessment.

Manufactured to pharmaceutical standards and widely available at major Philippine pharmacy retailers, Pedialyte 45 represents a trusted, evidence-based approach to rehydration therapy for acute gastroenteritis and related conditions.
