Should i be concerned about taking pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) and have loose black stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pepto bismal ; other: Meds that contain bismuth can turn stool black. If you have black, tarry, malodorous stool it may be melena or GI bleeding (which would require prompt medical attention)..
