About Pepto-Bismol Other brand names: Pepti-Calm Bismuth subsalicylate is the main ingredient in Pepto-Bismol. This medicine is used for heartburn and acid reflux, indigestion, diarrhoea and feeling sick (nausea). It works by protecting your stomach and the lower part of your food pipe from stomach acid.

The medicine forms a protective coating over the lower part of your food pipe (oesophagus), and partly coats your stomach. This helps protect them from stomach acid. It also has weak antacid properties that may help reduce too much stomach acid. This will ease feelings of pain and discomfort.

Sometimes referred to as "the pink stuff," Pepto-Bismol is an over-the-counter (OTC) medication that is safe and effective for short-term use. Side effects are generally mild and can include a black tongue, black stool, and constipation. More serious side effects can occur but are rare.

The Pepto Bismol website recommends taking:

1. One 30 ml dose every 30 minutes as needed for stomach upset, nausea, heartburn, and indigestion.
2. One 30 ml dose every 30 minutes or two doses every hour for diarrhea or traveler's diarrhea.

This medication is used to treat occasional upset stomach, heartburn, and nausea. It is also used to treat diarrhea and help prevent travelers' diarrhea. It works by helping to slow the growth of bacteria that might be causing the diarrhea.

The most powerful pain relievers are opioids. They are very effective, but they can sometimes have serious side effects.
