Product Description
Pepto‑Bismol Liquid Original 480 ml is an over‑the‑counter oral suspension designed to provide relief from a variety of digestive symptoms. It is commonly described as “The pink stuff” and addresses symptoms such as nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach and diarrhoea. The large 480 ml bottle size is convenient for home use or when you want a longer‑lasting supply.
Active Ingredient & How It Works
The active ingredient is bismuth subsalicylate. According to one listing it is 526 mg per 30 ml dose.
Mechanism of action: it forms a protective coating over the stomach and intestinal lining, which helps soothe irritation, reduces the effects of stomach acid and may also help reduce diarrhoea.
Usage Instructions & Dosage
Shake the bottle well before use.
Typical dose for adults and children over 16 years (in some markets) is 30 ml (one measuring cup) every 30‑60 minutes as needed, up to a maximum of 8 doses in 24 hours.
For children aged above 12 years (as per some listings) the product may be used; for younger children consult a doctor.
Do not continue use for more than 2 days for diarrhoea without medical advice
