Your better choice is check with your pharmacist about side effects, they can give you an idea of what is normal and what isn't. Oftentimes the docs are not up on all the side effects. Most importantly they may not be aware of what else you are taking. If you go to the same pharmacist, they can help you make sure there are no strange interactions. The pharmacist can also tell you if pepto is appropriate for the meds you are taking. The one that always gets to me, there are several psych drugs that say you should eat grapefruit a or drink grapefruit juice while on the meds. Couldn't figure out why for the longest time. Turns out a chemical in grapefruit enhances the effect of a chemical in the meds. Go figure!
