Pepto Bismol

Pepto Bismol is an iconic over-the-counter medication known for its distinctive pink color and its efficacy in treating various digestive upsets. The brand's history dates back to the early 1900s in the United States, where it was originally formulated under the name 'Bismosal' by a physician to treat cholera infantum. It was later rebranded and popularized by the Norwich Pharmacal Company.

Today, Pepto Bismol is manufactured primarily in North America, with significant production handled by Procter & Gamble manufacturing facilities in the United States. While it is sold globally, its formulation and production may involve regional facilities to meet local demand and regulatory standards.

The brand has been a flagship of the Procter & Gamble (P&G) portfolio since 1982. P&G, a global consumer goods giant headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, has expanded the line from its original liquid form to include chewable tablets, caplets, and 'Chews,' maintaining the product’s legacy as a staple in household medicine cabinets for managing indigestion, heartburn, and nausea.
