Hydralyte Strawberry Kiwi Effervescent Electrolyte Tablets is a listed complementary medicine (AUST L 288102) used to relieve the symptoms of dehydration.
The TGA recently became aware that Hydralyte Strawberry Kiwi Effervescent Electrolyte Tablets includes Carthamus tinctorius as an inactive ingredient. The level of exposure of Carthamus tinctorius in this product poses an unacceptable risk if used in pregnancy.
The TGA investigation concluded that the safety of Hydralyte Strawberry Kiwi Effervescent Electrolyte Tablets was unacceptable as it may expose consumers to Carthamus tinctorius during pregnancy. Further, the product does not contain the mandatory label warning ‘Do not use if pregnant or likely to become pregnant’ due to the inclusion of Carthamus tinctorius as an inactive ingredient. This issue does not affect any other Hydralyte flavours or products.
