A member asked:
Why would an adult need the use of pedialyte? to replace electrolytes? gatorade cheaper and just as valuable in most situations needing electrolytes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal preference: Either one is fine, both have electrolytes which are important if you are dehydrated, maybe a bit more sugar in Gatorade.
