Answer 2

No, Pepto is not safe for very long periods of time, no longer than a few days or a week at the max. It contains metals that can build up in your system. If you are having long periods of nausea you need to be checked out by your doctor. You could have an ulcer or some other illness that needs to be checked. They can help you much more with the nausea than Pepto can anyway. Hope you find out what is going on and feel better soon!

Answer 3

Nope. They warn you on the bottle for a reason. If you are nauseous for a long period of time, go to the doctor. You could have a serious infection, virus, or if you are female it could be a sign of ovarian cancer.

Also, Pepto can cause issues if taken for an extended period of time, which could exasperate the condition.

Answer 4

if you have persistant nausea and this is nothing new, see your doctor who will give you a pescription- maybe phenergan for nausea and vomiting. your doc will also want to know why youre nausous. it not normal to be nauseous all the time. so yeah-- this is a time where you want the real doctor to tell you what to do.

Answer 5

well ithink you should read the bottle but if you had that for very long time then its time to see the doctor. it could be lots of things stress, sour stomach. there are alot of reasons i mean for less then week sure. it does cause BM to not go so be careful take care.

Answer 6

I would say "no". If you have persistent nausea, you need a doctor, not temporary relief.
