There’s a time for sports drinks, soda and juice. And there’s a time for Pedialyte®.
You might be surprised to learn that sports drinks, sweetened sodas and juices don’t meet medical guidelines for helping prevent dehydration due to diarrhea and vomiting in kids. In general, these drinks are too high in carbohydrates (sugar) and too low in sodium - an important electrolyte that is lost during diarrhea and vomiting. Plus, drinks containing too much sugar may make diarrhea worse.
Pedialyte is specially formulated to quickly replace lost fluids and electrolytes due to diarrhea and vomiting so your child can rehydrate quickly and feel better fast.
