Does Pepto-Bismol have an expiration date?
I opened a bottle of Pepto-Bismol over a year ago. Is it still good enough to take? Does it have an expiration date after you open the bottle?

Don't trust it! It could be useless, EVEN TOXIC! "WhereMyQ&AIs," while not a doctor, has NO confidence in the wisdom of trusting the contents of a bottle of bismuth-subsalicylate solution ("Pepto-Bismol") more than thirty days after opening the bottle!
For all the original member who asked the question knows, that solution’s bismuth subsalicylate content might have become completely useless for its intended purpose of treating stomach problems, and though "WhereMyQ&AIs" hereby confesses to being no chemist, for the bismuth subsalicylate to have become a potentially deadly poison after all that time would not be a surprising development! The original member who asked the question is urged to destroy any remaining contents of the bottle IMMEDIATELY, and to obtain an entirely new one. --Paul Green MAILTO:WhereMyMailIs@juno.com Askville ID: WhereMyQ&AIs .
I think it would still be ok. It has ingredients that don't decay as much. I have used some vitamins after a year... Things like oils get rancid and get free radicals.
Some medicines are just less strong and some may chemically alter. If it is for acid reflex, know that you maybe low in stomach acid which causes this. I take HCl and enzymes when I eat.
I am celiac which affects the cells in the gut lining that make HCl.
Nothing lasts forever: Pitch it out! Not down the toilet tho please.
1 Yes. It's written on the bottle. This user has been banned from Askville.
2 Anything that has been open that long is probably not safe. If in doubt, throw it out! .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
