Sometimes you just know something is going to help you feel better, it looks conservative, understated and it tastes of nothing, well for all those people, Pepto Bismol is your worst nightmare, a medicine for sickness, nausea and stomach problems it is thick and bright pink and it really looks like it should be banned for use of too many additives rather than used to make you feel better. Pepto Bismol is available from all decent chemists and supermarkets and comes in a range of sizes from 120ml to 240ml to 480ml. We have the 240 ml bottle in our house as an alternative to tablets when we are at home, we use it mainly for stomach issues (Resolving unsettled ...  Read the complete review

Luckily I do not often suffer from stomach upsets and when I do Andrews liver salts always do the trick. However, last year I had that awful 48 hour bug - you know the one - which caused me to suffer not only an upset tummy but also nausea and basically a pain in the gut. It was dreadful at the time and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Hubby hates going to the chemist but nipped out to our local Lloyds and came back with an astonishingly pink (and I mean PINK) bottle as shown in the Dooyoo pic. To be honest I thought that something as gawdy and girly as this would not help but apparently the pharmacist highly recommended it. I had the 430 ml ...  Read the complete review

I first found out about Pepto Bismol about five years ago when I was suffering from a terrible stomach upset. I was not able to keep any food or liquid down for more than a few minutes, so I decided to pop to my local pharmacy for some advice on what may help. They recommended Pepto Bismol to see if it clamed things down and if not to consult further advice from my doctor. ~~~~~What Is It / Uses~~~~~ Pepto Bismol's main active ingredient is Bismuth Subsalicylate which as stated on the packaging works in conjunction with the rest of the medicine to form a soothing, protective, antiseptic coating of your stomach and intestine.

Back Story... I've had to take it before and it's not hugely pleasant. Important Stuff... Pepto Bismol is a very American medicine. It's made in America and mainly used in America. It's generally used to treat minor stomach upsets like diarrhoea, heartburn and indigestion. Its active ingredient is something called Bismuth Subsalicylate. It shouldn't be used in children with flu or chicken pox, or any kind of temperature, as the salicylate content, like Aspirin, has been proven to be linked to causing a mecical condition called Reye's Syndrome which is extremely serious. This is the first reason I don't like Pepto Bismol. It's difficult to ...  Read the complete review

Pepto-Bismol is a medicine aimed at relieving symptoms of upset stomach, nausea, heartburn and associated ailments. It is only suitable for those over 16. As well as this liquid form it is also available in tablet form should you prefer. I personally prefer the liquid version which comes in a small and a larger bottle. The price isn't cheap at around £3.15 for 120ml however for me it is the only antacid medicine that seems to work and so it is definitely worth it. It is currently only available over the counter which is often inconvenient if you need it unexpectedly and there isn't a chemist open/nearby. The product itself has a child proof ...  Read the complete review
