A member asked:
Are there contraindications to taking bismuth subsalicylate (pepto bismol) 262 mg a few times a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: But best to check with your doctor who knows your medical conditions and other meds that you may take. More importantly, why are you taking it a few times a week and are you masking a medical problem that warrants attention or evaluation.
