Pepto-Bismol has the active ingredient bismuth subsalicylate, which has been found to be safe and effective for treating “nonspecific diarrhea†in adults. However, bismuth subsalicylate is chemically related to aspirin (acetylsalicylate), which can be dangerous for children. When given during a viral illness, it can cause Reye’s Syndrome, a rare condition that can involve serious brain damage. For this reason, products containing bismuth subsalicylate must carry the following warning on the label: “Children and teenagers should not use this medicine for chicken pox or flu symptoms before a doctor is consulted about Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness reported to be associated with aspirin.†In addition, recent studies have not found these medicines to be effective in children under 12.
