Adults and children over 12 can use Pepto-Bismol, but it's not recommended for younger children. If you have a child under 12 who's experiencing gastric complaints, Pepto-Bismol Kids Suspension is the recommended treatment option.

How to Use Pepto Bismol Oral Suspension?

Always use Pepto-Bismol as directed, and do not exceed the recommended daily amount. Adults should take 30ml every 60 minutes as needed, up to a maximum of eight doses within a 24-hour period.

A dosing cup is provided with the bottle to help you measure the correct amount. Do not continue using Pepto-Bismol for more than two days unless advised to do so by a pharmacist or doctor.

Pepto-Bismol can be taken with or without food. However, it's important to stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids while using this medicine, especially when treating diarrhoea.

When to Avoid Using Pepto-Bismol Oral Suspension?

While Pepto Bismol is generally a safe medication, you should avoid taking it in the following situations:

• Stomach Ulcers: Pepto-Bismol is an effective acid reflux treatment but can worsen bleeding disorders and stomach ulcers.
• Allergies: Bismuth subsalicylate is the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol, and you can experience a reaction if you're allergic or sensitive to it.
• Other Salicylate Products: You should also avoid taking Pepto-Bismol when using medications such as aspirin, as they contain salicylates. Taking multiple salicylate medications can result in toxicity.
• Kidney Disorders: People with kidney conditions should always seek medical advice before using Pepto-Bismol.
• Black/Bloody Stools: Pepto-Bismol can darken your stools, but if you have black stools already, it can be a sign of another condition that requires immediate medical treatment.

Precautions

Individuals who are using antibiotics, gout treatments and blood thinners should speak to their doctor or registered pharmacist before taking Pepto-Bismol.

If you're pregnant, you should be able to use Pepto-Bismol in the early stages, but please ask your healthcare professional for advice if you're in the later stages of pregnancy or are breastfeeding.

If your symptoms persist after two days of usage, seeking medical advice is best, as you may have a more serious condition.
