A member asked:
What antidiarrhea meds can be given to children below 5 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: The best first choice is a pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) formulation which can be given without a prescription. Instructions on how much to give are predicated on body weight and should be on the bottle.
