Pedialyte is an oral electrolyte solution manufactured by Abbott Laboratories and marketed for use in children.
[citation needed] Pedialyte is lower in sugars than most sports drinks, containing 100 kilocalories per liter compared to approximately 240 in Gatorade.
Pedialyte does not contain sucrose, because this sugar has the potential to make diarrhea worse by drawing water into the intestine, increasing the risk of dehydration.
Pedialyte has become a popular drink for people suffering from hangovers, with one third of its sales coming from adults.
