Are you having a bad
Are you having a bad case of upset stomach , and looking for a way to relieve your symptoms? This video could be of use for you because in it, I’ll be discussing the medication bismuth subsalicylate, which is commonly sold under the brand name Pepto-Bismol.
Pepto-Bismol can be used to relieve diarrhea and upset stomach in adults and children 12 years and older. In children, 2 years to 12 years old, an alternative product can be used to help with heartburn and stomach upset, called Children’s Pepto Antacid. Pepto-Bismol is effective at relieving common symptoms of upset stomach, such as heartburn, nausea, gas, or indigestion.
You should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication if you are pregnant or if you drink alcohol. Pepto Bismol is available as a liquid, caplet, and chewable tablet form. Take as recommended by the product packaging, unless your doctor or pharmacist said otherwise.
Typical Dosing:
Oral: ~524 mg every 30 to 60 minutes or 1,050 mg every 60 minutes as needed for up to 2 days (maximum: ~4,200 mg [8 doses (regular strength); 4 doses (maximum strength)]/24 hours)
Some common side effects are a temporary darkening of the stool, black tongue, or constipation. When taking Pepto-Bismol you should not drink alcohol as this can contribute to digestive tract imbalance. Contact a healthcare provider before use if you have fever or mucus in your stool. Discontinue use and contact your doctor if diarrhea lasts for more than 2 days or if other symptoms last more than 14 days, if you have diarrhea with a fever, or if you develop hearing loss or ringing in the ears. Children or adolescents who are recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should not use this medication, as it can put them at risk for a syndrome known as Reye’s syndrome.
In summary, Pepto-Bismol, called bismuth subsalicylate, is a medication used to treat episodes of diarrhea and upset stomach. When taking this, always take it as your doctor instructs you to, or follow the directions provided through the manufacturer. Make sure to avoid alcohol and speak to a doctor or pharmacist if symptoms progress beyond the blackening of the tongue, stool, or developing constipation.
