It depends on what the problem is. But if you're talking about Pepto Bismol tablets (262 mg) and for regular diarrhea, take 2 tablets every hour as needed. For the liquid, take 30 mL every hour as needed. But you should really talk to a pharmacist about that because it depends on the problem, the weight of the individual, etc. If you have a bottle of Pepto Bismol, at least read all the instructions on the bottle.
