Pedialyte FAQ's
Why does the Pedialyte label say, For infants under 1 year of age, consult your doctor?
This recommendation is intended to assure the proper evaluation and treatment plan for infants who take Pedialyte. A baby is at much greater risk of dehydration than an older child is, and it is important to encourage parents to discuss their baby's condition with a physician before rehydration during diarrhea and vomiting.
Can I mix Pedialyte with formula?
No, we do not recommend mixing Pedialyte with formula. When Pedialyte and formula are mixed together, the nutrient and mineral content of both would change, along with the osmolality. The mixture could also become clumpy and hard for your baby to drink.
Can I mix Pedialyte with water? Apple juice? Ginger ale?
Pedialyte's specific blend of minerals and nutrients contains appropriate and balanced amounts of sugars and electrolytes in a particular quantity of fluid. This formulation is important for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in children who have abnormal losses, such as can happen with diarrhea. If other fluids are added, the quantities and ratios of electrolytes and sugars may be altered, making the product less effective. Additionally, adding other sweetened fluids could draw water back into the intestine and make diarrhea even worse. Therefore, no other fluids should be mixed with Pedialyte unless recommended by a health care professional. And it's important to note that when mixing Pedialyte Powder Packs, only 8 fl oz of water should be used per serving.
Why does Pedialyte need to be discarded in 48 hours?
Once Pedialyte is opened/prepared, environmental microorganisms can potentially come into contact with the product from the air or from direct contact. For example, if someone touches the surface from which the product is poured, any bacteria on the person's hands can be transferred to the product. This is called touch contamination. The bacteria grow slowly at refrigerator temperatures, but over time, the amount of bacteria can become significant.
Can I freeze Pedialyte (not the Freezer Pops)?
We do not recommend freezing any of our Pedialyte products unless they are specifically designed to be frozen, like Pedialyte Freezer Pops. Pedialyte Freezer Pops contain an ingredient (carboxymethylcellulose) which keeps the pops from freezing solid (like ice cubes) and allows them to be more ""bite-able."" Pedialyte liquid or reconstituted Pedialyte Powder does not contain this ingredient.
What is Pedialyte?
Pedialyte is an oral electrolyte solution that is specifically designed to replace vital minerals and nutrients that are lost when a child has diarrhea with or without vomiting. Pedialyte is effective because it contains only a small amount of sugar (glucose) that is balanced with appropriate levels of minerals (electrolytes). Pedialyte is designed with this precise combination of sugars and electrolytes to promote fluid and electrolyte absorption. "
