Hydralyte Electrolyte Ice Blocks in Apple Blackcurrant deliver fast, WHO-standard oral rehydration in a frozen format the whole family can manage, even when nausea makes drinking difficult. Each pack holds 16 ready-to-freeze blocks that replace the water, sodium, potassium and glucose lost through vomiting, diarrhoea, heavy sweating, heat and vigorous exercise, helping you and your children feel better sooner without relying on water alone.

Why Hydralyte Ice Blocks Deliver

Unlike a sugary icy pole, Hydralyte is a true oral rehydration solution scientifically formulated to the World Health Organisation standard. The balanced ratio of glucose and electrolytes helps your body absorb fluid faster than water alone, correcting mild to moderate dehydration quickly. The frozen ice-block format is soothing on an upset stomach and sip-friendly, so nauseous children and adults tolerate it well when they cannot face a full drink.

Ideal For

Hydralyte Ice Blocks suit the entire family, including babies from 0 months, children, adults, and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers. They are a practical sick-day and daycare essential for gastro, fever and travel, and a smart choice for the UAE climate when heat and sport drive fluid loss. The treat-like format is especially useful for children who refuse to drink fluids while unwell.

Important Information

Dehydration can be serious in babies, young children and the elderly. Seek medical advice if vomiting or diarrhoea persists beyond the timeframes on the pack, and consult your healthcare provider before use if you follow a sodium-restricted diet or have a kidney or heart condition. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Each 62.5ml ice block is built on a reduced-osmolarity electrolyte formula. Per ice block:

• Glucose monohydrate: 1g

• Sodium: 77mg (from sodium chloride)

• Potassium: 54mg (from potassium citrate)

• Citric acid monohydrate: 300mg

The full pack provides 16 blocks, equal to 1 litre of oral rehydration liquid. Active ingredients are glucose monohydrate, sodium chloride, potassium citrate monohydrate and citric acid monohydrate. The formula also contains purified water, carmellose sodium, natural flavours, blackcurrant colour solution, sucralose, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. It has no added gluten and is Kosher certified.

Freeze the ice blocks fully before use.

1. Place the Hydralyte Ice Blocks in the freezer until solid.

2. Cut open one end with clean scissors.

3. Push the frozen block up from the uncut end and suck small amounts until finished.

Dosing depends on age, so follow the pack directions: as a guide, children under 3 take 1 block every 60 minutes and adults take 3 blocks every 30 minutes. The blocks can also be eaten unfrozen. Store below 30°C.
