PeptioBismol is typically excreted and turns the stool black, likely involved in what you have noticed. As soon as you stop taking it you should see your stool return to its previous color. If that is not the case letting your doc know would be best.

Pepto bismol can make stool black. It will come back to usual color when you stop it
