Sure. One dose of Pepto Bismol should not preclude your taking Alka Seltzer at night. If your stomach issues continue please see your doctor for a complete history and physical to explore why you might be having pains.

I took some Pepto Bismol this morning because I was feeling nausea and now I am feeling considerably worse. I was about to take some more when I noticed it expired in October of 2018. Is it possible that it made my nausea worse or is it still safe?
