After CoolSculpting, can I take Pepto-bismol for my upset stomach?

Hello,Thank you for your question. Pepto-Bismol shouldnt have any negative effects on your CoolSculpting. Congratulations on your treatment and good luck on your results!

It sounds like from your question that you are doing everything right and following your doctor’s recommendations.  Pepto Bismol actually just coats the stomach and is not an anti-inflammatory, so you should be ok to take it as directed.   Just make sure you are still able to pass gas and have bowel movements following the treatment.  The inability to do so should prompt an immediate call to the doctor.

Hello and thank you for your question. Taking Pepto-bismol after your Coolsculpting treatment will not have an effect on the results. If you are experiencing any pain, nausea, or diarrhea I would recommend consulting a Physician. Best of luck to you!

Coolsculpting is a fantastic procedure and I wouldn't worry at all about taking Pepto Bismol.  These types of medications will not affect your results.  Best, Dr. Green

Upset stomach is not a usual side effect from CoolSculpting. I don't think that the Pepto Bismol will hurt you. Anti-inflammatory medication may actually make the upset worse. If you develop any other symptoms, such as fever, chills, vomiting, change in bowel movements, or actual abdominal pain, you should seek further medical attention since this could indicate another issue could be causing your symptoms. In any case, keep in touch with your physician until your stomach upset has fully resolved.  Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd
