Buy Pedialyte products online in Canada
Pedialyte is a medically formulated oral electrolyte solution brand designed to promote rehydration and electrolyte replacement, particularly in children suffering from dehydration due to illness. It was invented by Dr. Gary Cohen of Swampscott, Massachusetts, and first issued to hospitals in 1966, with consumer sales beginning in 1969. Pedialyte is specifically designed to treat and prevent dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, fever, travel, exercise, or heat exposure, using a precise balance of electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, and chloride, along with glucose to enhance fluid absorption.
Pedialyte was originally created for children but has become widely used by adults, athletes, and travelers for rapid oral rehydration therapy (ORT). Its formulation follows guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for rehydration and is considered more effective than common sports drinks due to its lower sugar content and higher electrolyte concentration. Pedialyte’s formulation is based on rehydration therapies developed by the World Health Organization in the 1940s, intended to treat dehydration caused by acute gastroenteritis and other conditions leading to fluid loss. Unlike many sports drinks, Pedialyte contains lower sugar and higher levels of sodium and potassium, and it does not use sucrose, which can worsen diarrhea. Its typical composition includes 1,035 mg/L sodium and 780 mg/L potassium, compared to much lower levels in sports drinks like Gatorade.
Originally marketed for pediatric use, Pedialyte has expanded its consumer base and is now also popular among adults, particularly as a remedy for hangover-related dehydration. Since 2012, adult sales have increased significantly, prompting Abbott to market Pedialyte for broader hydration needs, including athletes and those recovering from illness or alcohol consumption.
Pedialyte is available in various forms and flavors, including ready-to-drink solutions, powders, and freezer pops, and is distributed globally. Its key competitors include other electrolyte solutions such as Lytren, NormaLyte, Gastrolyte, and Hydralyte. Over the decades, it has become a trusted household name in both clinical and everyday settings, often recommended by pediatricians, healthcare providers, and pharmacists for fast and effective hydration. Pedialyte is widely recognized for its clinical effectiveness in treating and preventing dehydration, maintaining a reputation as a trusted solution for both pediatric and adult hydration needs.
