About Pedialyte
Pedialyte is Abbott's oral rehydration drink, listed in its 10-K among the adult and other paediatric nutritional products next to Ensure, Glucerna and PediaSure. It is formulated to replace the water and salts lost to vomiting, diarrhoea or heavy sweating, which is why it carries more sodium and potassium and far less sugar than an ordinary soft drink. It is a medical product that is sold like a beverage.
What Abbott's annual report says about Pedialyte
Sentences about Pedialyte from Abbott's latest annual filing[1], copied word for word.
In 2024, U.S. Pediatric Nutritionals sales increased 11.7 percent, driven by infant formula market share gains and the favorable impact of price increases, partially offset by a decrease in PediaSure and Pedialyte product sales.

About the owner: Abbott
Abbott is a publicly listed company headquartered in Abbott Park, Illinois, United States, founded in 1900. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control, and it is listed as NYSE: ABT.
Abbott is an Illinois corporation incorporated in 1900 and one of the largest diversified healthcare companies in the world. It reports in four segments — Established Pharmaceutical Products, Diagnostic Products, Nutritional Products and Medical Devices — and only the third of those puts Abbott's names on supermarket shelves. Its 10-K lists Similac and EleCare in infant formula, Ensure, Glucerna, PediaSure and Pedialyte in adult and other paediatric nutrition, and a separate range of enteral feeds such as Jevity, Osmolite and Nepro sold into hospitals. The larger part of the company is diagnostics and devices, including the FreeStyle Libre glucose monitors, the BinaxNOW rapid tests and the i-STAT point-of-care systems, none of which is a consumer brand in the sense this site uses. Abbott agreed to acquire Exact Sciences in November 2025.
