AI Overview
Bismuth granules (like bismuth subsalicylate/subcitrate) are
generally safe and effective for short-term use in treating GI issues like H. pylori, dyspepsia, and diarrhea due to low absorption (<1%), but high doses or prolonged use risk rare neurotoxicity (encephalopathy) or kidney issues, with common mild side effects being black tongue/stool. Safety requires avoiding in salicylate-allergic individuals, children with flu-like symptoms (Reye's risk), and those with bleeding disorders, and dosages must be monitored.
