Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

I would not give your husband Gatorade without first checking with his physician.

Gatorade is a sports drink, which contains sugar and electrolytes. It is intended to be used to replace fluids, sugar and electrolytes lost during exercise. It could cause harm for your husband.

Regards,
Maryann
