Bismuth subsalicylate for Diarrhea Reviews
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) "I was so sick from a stomach virus going around my city, including my own doctor's office staff. I literally felt like I was dying. My wonderful neighbor brought me a bottle of Pepto-Bismol, and after the first dose, I immediately started feeling better. I couldn’t believe it, as I had been delirious only moments before."
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) "As a college student with moderate IBS symptoms/overly sensitive stomach, sharing one bathroom with four people can REALLY be scary. Instead of having to climb out the window and run into the woods or bang on the door begging for mercy, popping a couple Pepto tablets can REALLY help relieve the symptoms of impending doom. It mellows my stomach out within 5 minutes of taking, doesn't taste bad, and gives me a sense of safety. Sometimes, your stomach still gets upset much later, which at that point is completely fine - it has to come out sometime, right? Generally speaking, it's usually great, and I never get the upset stomach! I recommend it to anyone, it's saved me many times and can do the same for you."
Kaopectate (bismuth subsalicylate) "I took the tablet form which is not mentioned on this website. (Perhaps that form is new.) I took one dose (two tablets) after first BM. I took two more one hour later after second BM. That was the last BM after several days of diarrhea. This diarrhea is a side effect of a new Rx medication which I am continuing to take. I had no side effects from Kaopectate."
Kaopectate Anti-Diarrheal Upset Stomach Reliever (bismuth subsalicylate) "I had diarrhea for almost a month I have tried everything over the counter that you can find is this the only thing that has happened to stop the diarrhea it's been around forever and it's the only thing that's worked"
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) "It worked after I took like 6 of them over the course of a couple of hours. It was a bad decision though as it made me constipated for 5 or 6 days after that. Be careful if you have IBS and have alternating constipation/diarrhea or any other related stomach issues"
Kaopectate (bismuth subsalicylate) "Kaopectate is awesome. It worked from the first dose. It helps stomach viruses and bacteria and really got me out of a jam. It doesn't have a lot of sugar in it like Pepto does."
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) "Relieves my upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, heartburn, and its affordable."
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) "Very effective for diarrhea, besides, it alleviates heartburn and stomach discomfort."
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) "Excellent stomach flu remedy. Stops symptoms quickly. For bad digestive issues such as the stomach flu the max liquid works better than caplets or chewable tablets. Gives fast effective relief."
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) "Pepto-Bismol did not CURE my problem; but it slowed diarrhea until I was able to get to the doctor. A must have in all medicine cabinets!"
Kaopectate (bismuth subsalicylate) "It works on the diarrhea a little slower than Imodium, but has fewer side effects, and it makes my stomach feel better right away. Two to three doses is all it ever takes."
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) "Pesto Bismol did nothing for me. I took the maximum amount recommended for a full day. Woke up next morning to an undescribable condition. I'm going back to reliable Kaopectate."
