The article talked about salicyclic (sp?) acids, the main component of aspirin.

The other day I was checking out a bottle of Pepto-Bismal and noticed that it now has a “don’t use if you shouldn’t take aspirin” warning on it because of the sal acid. I guess where I’m going with this is I wonder if a person could take “aspirin” without taking aspirin. Such as a tsp of Pepto-Bismal, for example.

People who take anti-inflammatory medications aren’t supposed to take aspirin because they contain aspirin components.

Several years ago weren’t they treating ulcers with Pepto-Bismal?...I could have that mixed up with something else. I’ve never had an ulcer.
