What can happen if you take to much Pepto-Bismol?

Answer 1

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

Overdose symptoms may include increased thirst, anxiety, muscle spasm, ringing in your ears, dizziness, confusion, severe headache, problems with speech or vision, severe stomach pain, or worsening diarrhea or vomiting. Pepto contains something called "salicylates" which are also the ingredient in aspirin that thins blood and can cause Reyes Syndrome in any child under 18.

You can also call the National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hot line number will let you talk to experts in poisoning.

They will give you further instructions.

This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
