The protective effect of Pepto-Bismol in these studies was clearly demonstrated.
It was concluded that at equivalent salicylate dose levels, Pepto-Bismol, unlike aspirin, did not cause a dose-dependent increase in blood in the feces of rats, suggesting that salicylates should not be collectively categorized as inducing gastric mucosal damage.
Although the mechanism of action of Pepto-Bismol was not delineated, there was a suggestion that the degree of coating of the gastric mucosa was related to protection.
