A member asked:
Im frequently dehydrated. would it be safe to consume 1 litre of pedialyte daily everyday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe =yes, needed=no: If you have trouble maintaining your hydration level you can with plain water. An adult does not need to consume a product with electrolytes designed for babies with diarrhea. If you have a medical problem (kidneys) that causes your dehydration you should consult the treating doc for guidance in fluid selection.
