Pepto Treatment Plan

Post by terre »

Could anyone tell me how they took the 8 tablets per day? Did you take 2 at a time spaced throughout the day?

Thanks,
Terre

Does a cap full of liquid Pepto = 2 tablets?

Anyone know?

Yes, 2 tablets are the equivalent of 2 tbs of regular strength liquid pepto, however they are slightly lower in subsalicylate. I use Target generic tablets because they have less inactive ingredients than liquid pepto, I felt there would be fewer additives to worry about.

Oh Thanks! Between the tablets and liquid I get confused about dosage . . . I guess 4 cap fulls = Dr Fine's 8 tablets.

I prefer the liquid as I feel it does a better job of coating my digestive system!
