But, as the authors note, it&#8217;s also used off-label for the prevention of diarrhea, especially among international travelers.<\/p>\n<p>The study issued questionnaires before, during and after travel to the 270 participants, who had a median age of 32 and planned to travel to Southeast Asia, south central Asia, North Africa or sub-Saharan Africa for 7 to 21 days. Participants were recruited from clinical sites in New York in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>The group given the medication took 4 tablets twice daily during their trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The study did have limitations, including not reaching the target sample size. But it did provide the first new data since the 1980s on the potential use of bismuth subsalicylate in diarrhea prevention, according to the study&#8217;s authors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite this study not reaching the targeted sample size, there are nonetheless important considerations for healthcare providers conducting pretravel consultations for international travelers,&#8221; the authors wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The authors also noted further studies are needed to determine if there is a benefit in certain traveler groups or under certain circumstances.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A larger study might show benefit, although the benefit may be small given the results of this study,&#8221; they wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Procter &amp; Gamble, the parent company of Pepto Bismol, provided the medication for the study but did not participate in any procedures, the authors noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/sara-moniuszko\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Sara  Moniuszko<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Sara Moniuszko is a health and lifestyle reporter at CBSNews.com.
