Can a woman that's nursing take pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Recommend against use of pepto - bismol by nursing mothers because some may be excreted into breast milk. The salicylate in the pepto- bismol could put the baby at risk for development of reye’s syndrome.
