Pepto-Bismol, with the active ingredient Bismuth Subsalicylate, provides effective relief for five common digestive issues: Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, and Diarrhea. This formulation works by coating the stomach lining and lower gut, soothing irritation and discomfort that often arise from overindulgence in food and drink.
The mechanism of action (MOA) of Bismuth Subsalicylate includes:
- Coating and Protection: It forms a protective barrier in the gastrointestinal tract, helping to shield the stomach lining from irritants.
- Soothing Effect: It calms the digestive system, alleviating symptoms of discomfort and distress.
- Fluid Absorption: For diarrhea, it helps to effectively restore balance by absorbing excess fluids, firming stools.
Pepto-Bismol is easy to use: recommended dosing is 1 dose (30 mL) every 30-60 minutes as needed, with a maximum of 8 doses in 24 hours. The attached dosing cup ensures accurate measurement for optimal relief.
Call to Action: Encourage your patients not to let digestive issues hold them back. With Pepto-Bismol, they can swiftly return to their daily activities with confidence.
