A member asked:
Can pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) make you constipated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The commonest side effects from pepto are black stool, black tongue, constipation and - if really overdone - tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Of course you are taking the pepto short-term for soemthing; if you feel the need to continue it for more than 2 weeks you should see your md.
