Bismuth Subsalicylate

The demulcent base provides a protective coating of the lower oesophagus and a partial coating in the stomach which holds the Bismuth Subsalicylate in suspension. Bismuth subsalicylate may exert its antidiarrheal action not only by stimulating absorption of fluid and electrolytes across the intestinal wall but also when hydrolysed to salicylic acid, by inhibiting synthesis of a prostaglandin responsible for intestinal inflammation and hypermotility. In addition, Bismuth Subsalicylates binds toxins produced by E. coli.
