A member asked:
Can you drink alcohol after taking pepto bismol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid mixing two: Pepto bismal contains salicylates which cause some degree of gastritis(stomach irritation). Alcohol has similar effect on the lining of the stomach. Taking the two of them together will further aggravate gastritis and could cause bleeding from the stomach due to ulceration.. So do not mix these two. Also take an antacid to cut down on acid production and reduce the risk of Gastritis..
