Pepto-Bismol
Pink stomach medicine
Pepto-Bismol is a brand-name over-the-counter medication for digestive discomfort—upset stomach, heartburn, nausea, indigestion, and diarrhea.
Its distinctive pink color has made it iconic: That Pepto-Bismol pink.
The active ingredient is bismuth subsalicylate.
Often shortened to Pepto: I need some Pepto after that meal.
