Diarrhea is a common problem for travelers, who frequently consume new and possibly ill-prepared foods while away from home. Keep your travels on track with diarrhea treatment from Pepto-Bismol. In a recent study, the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol was proven to significantly shorten the duration of Traveler’s Diarrhea. With one regular dose of Pepto-Bismol, you'll start to receive relief from your diarrhea symptoms in four to 24 hours.

Unlike other anti-diarrhea medications that only treat the symptoms of diarrhea, Pepto-Bismol treats the source of diarrhea: bacteria. Often caused by ingestion of improperly cooked foods or contaminated water, bacterial infection can result in bowel upset and diarrhea. Pepto-Bismol gives you diarrhea relief by treating diarrhea-causing bacteria in your system, lessening your symptoms, and reducing the duration of your diarrhea.
