Pedialyte is specially formulated to help prevent mild to moderate dehydration due to diarrhea and vomiting by replacing fluids and electrolytes. Unlike common household beverages, Pedialyte contains the optimal balance of sodium and sugar recommended by experts to help prevent dehydration.
The optimal balance enhances intestinal fluid and electrolyte absorption into the bloodstream. Sports drinks, juices, and sodas are too high in sugar and can cause symptoms, such as diarrhea or worse.
