[edit] Pepto-Bismol
I'm wrapping the brand name Pepto-Bismol in [['s, to make it appear on the requested articles page. I think that this particular (exclusive maybe? I don't know) brand use of bismuth subsalicylate deserves a wikipage, due to its reference in both popular media, and it being almost a monopoly in the stomach-calming-medicines market. Additionally, if anyone could provide more information about the method of action of Bismuth Subsalicylate I would be much obliged. --Lor 04:00, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Aha, well bismuth subsalicylate redirects here. I shall undo the change in that case - but I would like to suggest for the reasons above that Pepto-Bismol be given its own seperate article? Sorry again, --Lor 04:05, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gallery of Advertisements featuring Pepto-Bismol
I'd like to add the following link within the main article.
Please advise soonest.--15.235.153.104 20:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

- The link does not comply with wp:el, and it does not give any extra information about the chemical, I don't think this is a good place for the link. --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that the link has nothing to do with the chemical. However, it has everything to do with Pepto-Bismol (which is how I found this page, btw). There are links to the "official" Pepto and Kaopectate sites here. Perhaps there should be a separate Pepto-Bismol article. --15.235.153.104 20:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- You are right, I removed those as well. Your link would still not comply with wp:el. --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Action, perhaps a link
This page is more linked to organic rather than inorganic chemistry, the action is the same as salicylic acid(asprin). It is just the bismuth salt, like sodium acetate is that salt of acetic acid. A link to asprin would be useful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spgoo1 (talk • contribs) 08:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC).
