Ingredient and concentration
Drug Facts lists 525 mg of bismuth subsalicylate in each 30 mL. This relationship describes the amount of active ingredient in that volume of liquid. It is not a daily intake recommendation or a measure of the entire bottle’s contents.
Listed uses
The label lists relief of diarrhea, including traveler’s diarrhea, and stomach upset associated with overindulgence in food or drink, such as heartburn, indigestion, nausea, gas and belching. Review the warnings before deciding whether to use it.
Reading Directions
Shake well and follow the amounts, intervals and limits on the package received. For children under 12, consult a doctor. The label limits use for diarrhea to no more than 2 days and instructs users to drink clear fluids to help prevent dehydration.
Keep the original bottle: concentration, amount per dose and frequency are separate facts that must be read together.
Contains salicylates. Do not use with a salicylate allergy, other salicylate products, ulcers, bleeding problems, or bloody or black stools. Children and teenagers who have or are recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms must not use it because of the Reye’s syndrome warning. Seek advice for fever, mucus in stool, other medicines, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Stop and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, last more than 2 days, or ringing in the ears or hearing loss occurs.
