Pepto-Bismol Oral Suspension works by leveraging Bismuth subsalicylate to provide comprehensive digestive relief. When consumed, it coats the stomach and the lower part of the esophagus, forming a protective barrier that soothes irritation and guards against stomach acid. Additionally, it acts as an antacid, helping to reduce excess stomach acid, which eases discomfort associated with heartburn and indigestion. This dual action makes it effective for tackling a range of symptoms, including indigestion, heartburn, nausea, upset stomach, gas, belching, fullness, and various forms of diarrhea, such as traveler's diarrhea or discomfort from overindulgence in food and drink. The liquid form is designed for fast absorption and easy digestibility, making it a preferred choice, especially for children aged 12 and over and elderly individuals who may have difficulty swallowing tablets. The recommended dosage for adults and children aged 12 and over is 30ml per dose. This dose can be repeated every 30-60 minutes as needed, but you must not exceed 8 doses within a 24-hour period. It is crucial to use the provided cup for accurate measurement. Do not use this medication for more than two days, as prolonged use can increase the likelihood of side effects. For stomach ulcers caused by bacteria like Helicobacter pylori, Pepto-Bismol can be used under the supervision of a doctor in conjunction with other prescribed medications. However, it should never be used to self-treat diarrhea if you experience fever or notice blood/mucus in your stool, as these symptoms require immediate medical attention.
Pepto-Bismol Oral Suspension is taken orally. The correct dosage is 30ml, poured into the provided measuring cup and swallowed.

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure about the appropriate dosage or usage, especially for individuals with underlying medical conditions or those taking other medications.
