My wife went store to get the sour stomach. She look each label to fix for what I need to intaken with pill.

She just notice with warning label say that Pepto-Bismol can or could cause become DEAF. She was like.. if I am DEAF and I could being Hearing again?

I keep forget to take picture about that and you guy can look if you plan go store, stop by drug shelve and find that label.

I think somewhat it FUNNY!
 
really? that is so interesting. I never noticed that. I gotta look at the label. Thanks for letting me and others know.
 
Only in animals. It's a known side effect -- because it can cause animals to get mites in their ears, and THEN they can incur hearing loss from that. I sincerely don't believe it's a common problem in humans, otherwise the FDA would pull that product. It's too widely-used.

That's weird. Never seen that before.

I've never seen the warning, either, and have taken Pepto for decades. Yet another reason I had tinnitus and went deaf. They keep piling up.
 
I wonder if my mother took it when she was pregnant with me because my family use Pepto-Bismol for years? :hmm:
 
Forget the label or its individual-based effects, it's their tacky commercials I leaves me wanting to puke! :barf:
