Hi all. I’m a foreigner here in Estonia.

​

I’m looking for the following: pepto-bismol/BISMUTH SUBSALICYLATE in Estonia. I cannot find anything similar to it. Something that makes use of Bismuth Salts.

[Bismuth subsalicylate – Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth_subsalicylate)

The closest thing I found in Estonia is this:

[BISEPTOL TBL 800MG+160MG N10 (ET) (apotheka.ee)](https://www.apotheka.ee/biseptol-tbl-800mg-160mg-n10-et-pmm0177702ee)

[BISEPTOL TBL 800MG+160MG N10 (ET) | azeta.ee](https://www.azeta.ee/biseptol-tbl-800mg-160mg-n10-et)

[Biseptol – tablett (800mg +160mg) – RX.EE](https://rx.ee/b/6579-biseptol-tabl-800mg-160mg-n10?showall=1)

With the above, it’s still not the same as the product i’m looking for. The above item is not sold anymore in Estonia, and if it were, it would need a prescription. Any help with finding the product would be appreciated.

  2. I think its all aluminum/magnesium salt based here – bismuth overdose risk or something I guess. Generally don’t find it in EU.

  3. The drug availability differs wildly between US and EU because they have different FDAs and a whole different process. This is no news and you’d have to be naive to not expect this. You can’t get PB in Estonia.

  4. Drugs for diarrhea: https://www.benu.ee/tooted/seedimine-ja-dieet/kohulahtisus

    But you should just ask a pharmacist how to treat your symptoms, or if it’s a chronic issue talk to a doctor and treat the underlying issue. Don’t combine drugs without consulting a medical professional, obviously. Even if you’re not insured, getting medical help is very affordable in Estonia compared to places where pepto bismol is sold.
