Bismuth Subsalicylate Tips from Pharmacists

• Swallow the tablets whole (you can chew the chewable tablets).

• Use a dose measuring cup to measure the liquid medicine, and not a regular household spoon.

• Keep track of how much Pepto Bismol you have taken, and make sure you do not exceed the recommended maximum dose (240 mL or 16 tablets).

• Stop taking bismuth subsalicylate and Call your doctor if your diarrhea does not get better in 2 days.
