5.0 out of 5 stars Convenient Chewable Tablets, February 9, 2009

This review is from: Pepto-Bismol Upset Stomach Reliever/Antidiarrheal Chewable Tablets, Cherry Flavor, 48-Count Boxes (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)

Pepto-Bismol tablets are convenient for travel or to keep in your car, purse, desk or locker at work. Tablets are easier to store, easier to measure out and less messy than the traditional liquid Pepto-Bismol. Each package of 48 tablets is 24 adult doses. Each pack of 48 is enough to see you through a 3-day bout of diarrhea since the maximum daily dose is 8 doses in a 24 hour period. Read the additional package warnings or consult "medline plus" for further information.

Keep in mind that you should stop use and contact your doctor if diarrhea lasts more than two days according to the package directions. The total of 144 tablets is equivalent to 72 ounces of regular strength Pepto-Bismol (six 12-oz bottles) and is thus enough to cover almost 10 days of full blow digestive upset.
