Information

Pepto-Bismol Liquid Suspension is a soothing remedy used to treat heartburn, nausea, indigestion, an upset stomach, in addition to helping control diarrhoea.

The liquid creates a protective coating over the contents of the stomach so the stomach acid does not come in contact with the stomach lining or food pipe which reduces acid reflux and indigestion.

Active Ingredient

The active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol is bismuth subsalicylate. This works by limiting the amount of fluid that travels to your bowel, managing its overactivity. It also works to reduce inflammation in the intestine and kill the organisms that cause diarrhoea. Other ingredients include aluminium magnesium silicate, methylcellulose, methyl salicylate, sorbic acid (E200), benzoic acid (E210), salicylic acid, saccharin sodium, sodium salicylate, amaranth (E123), and purified water.
