For the dietary treatment of fluid deficiency (dehydration) in diarrhoeal diseases. Saltadol® is a dietary food for special medical purposes (supplementary balanced diet). It is composed in such a way that the electrolyte and water balance can be balanced without risk. The ratio of the components of Saltadol® is precisely coordinated, has been adjusted and corresponds in reduced osmolarity to the WHO formulation for the supply of lost electrolytes.

Precautions / interactions

Patients with heart failure and high blood pressure should consult their doctor before starting dietary treatment. Patients receiving concomitant therapy with cardiac glycosides should be carefully monitored for their potassium content. Avoid sugary drinks such as lemonades, cola drinks, etc. The increased sugar content promotes and prolongs diarrhoea.
