| toiletoctopus's Full Review: Pepto-Bismol Original Formula Liquid |
Heartburn, Diarreah, Stomach Indigestion, Nausea, and Upset Stomach. These are not pleasant subjects, but they are a reality in our fast food eating society. I recently had a negative experience with some of these medical issues, after going to an "all you can eat buffalo wing" establishment. The stomach pain was unbearable after eating a dozen "Flatliner" wings. I was almost doubled over, and decided to go to the convenience store next door. I looked no further than purchasing a reliable product, Pepto Bismol, which has been a great help during these unfortunate events.
Pepto Bismol is manufactured by Proctor and Gamble. This pink formula is internationally known for relief, much like the Red Cross symbol is for trying to cure all evils. The active ingredient is Bismuth Subsaliyclate, which is a great word for a spelling bee. One dose of this, is usually enough to take care of unbearable symptoms. Sadly, it doesn't seem to get rid of the headache from their annoying commercials. It comes in 4,8,12, and the ultrafamous mother of all bottles in the 16 oz size.
The taste is quite interesting, and I cannot describe it as disgusting or delicious. Its somewhere in the middle of the road category in this regard, and tastes a lot like Teaberry Brand gum. It is distinctive however, and luckily any aftertaste goes away quite rapidly. Relief is quick, and this is the best medicine for the worst case of hearburn. It usually starts working in 20-25 minutes, and its also wonderful for diarreah. This is one of the worst things you can live with, but luckily it takes care of that quickly as well.
There are no side effects to this medicine, except for relief. It can be purchased at every drugstore and grocery establishment. If you buy it at the right time, you can get it for a very reasonable price on sale. In addition, Proctor and Gamble also sometimes offers coupons on their website. You can contact them at 1-800-717-3786 for any product information.
The directions are simple, and the bottle is easy to open. Just peel away the safety plastic, and drink the whole thing.(I'm just joking here, if you are an attorney, and trying to set up a class action lawsuit) If you are an adult, or a child over 12 years of age, shake the bottle well. Then use the dose cup on the top for an accurate measurement, and try 2 tsps. every half hour to hour as needed. I've usually had luck with one dose, and in extreme cases, only two-three took care of my pain completely.
Pepto Bismol is a good product, that will take care of these terrible medical conditions. I always have a bottle at home just in case. If you are going to a restaurant that will be sure to give your stomach a "battle royale," try a dose before going in. I've found that this helps. You can also purchase Pepto Bismol in caplet form as well, but I'm not sure if its effective as the original formula.
