What happens if you chew a non chewable pepto-bismol tablet?
It's been over an hour since I chewed the non-chewable pepto-bismol tablet and nothing has happen other than my stomach ache has subsided.
Is there a subsitute for pepto-bismol without the red dyes?
Yes. Kaopectate, which used to contain Kaolin and Pectin, now contains bismuth subsalicylate, which is the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol. Unfortunately, Kaopectate is more expensive than Peto, but worth it if you want to avoid ingesting coal-tar based coloring agents.
What are facts about bismuth?
It is used in Pepto bismol, and is heavier than lead. It also has a half-life of over a billion times as long as the ESTIMATED AGE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Can you give your dog pepto bismal?
I would strongly recommend calling your veterinarian first - dogs can have severe stomach problems that can be made worse with Pepto-Bismol, including gastric dilation and torsion and foreign bodies. Although not fun for the dog, it's generally better to let your dog ride through a bout of upset stomach without medication - he should be fine in about 12 hours and acting like normal again. However, in some cases veterinarians do use bismuth sulfate (the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol) to treat minor cases of indigestion and diarrhea in dogs. It is important to check with your veterinarian regarding dosage for your dog (it is based on weight and health status, so it needs to be individually tailored) and the formula needs to be the original Pepto-Bismol with no other active ingredients.
What is the pH of pepto-bismal?
The human stomach is highly acidic, which is necessary for its function, but if this pH balance is disrupted, the stomach can become too acidic and cause heartburn. In order to return the pH to normal levels, pepto-bismol must have a higher pH than the hydrochloric acid, but not necessarily a basic one.
Can you give your cat pepto bismol?
Pepto Bismol contains bismuth subsalicylate, which is toxic to cats at relatively low dosages, so no, you absolutely should not give it to your cat. In general, you should never medicate your pets without the advice of a veterinarian, as things that are fine for us can be quite bad for them._____ Pink's link list: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=0&cat=1459&articleid=1456 http://maxshouse.com/Drugs_To_Avoid_in_Cats.html http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/bismuth-subsalicylate-pepto-bismol-kaopectate/page1.aspx http://www.vet4petz.com/alternative/otc_meds.htm http://www.angelfire.com/nd/SilverMoon/tips.html http://www.animaltrustees.org/ATA_Web/pdfs/atakitten.pdf Only administer human or herbal remedies under a vet's supervision. Cats process things differently than do humans, and so some things that work for us could kill them, even in quantities proportionate to their weight.

What should you eat in stomach pain?
There are many possible reasons for having stomach pain, and you should not necessarily be eating anything - for example, if you are suffering from constipation, there is already too much in your alimentary canal. However, you could try Pepto-Bismol. Other than that, perhaps the safest thing would be a glass of ginger ale. Yoghurt may be suitable (if you are not lactose intolerant).
Can dogs drink pepto bismol?
In general, Pepto-Bismol is safe in small doses for dogs - not for cats because the aspirin-like ingredient poisons cats! - but you should double check with the vet before dosing your dog. The general dosage is 1/4 of a tablet for every 20 pounds of weight and repeat every 6-8 hours if needed. You're going to have a much easier time dosing a dog with tablets instead of the "icky" tasting liquid.If the diarrhea continues longer than one day, or if the symptoms get worse, take the dog to the vet immediately.
