I have had the most horrible stomach virus since Sunday night. My wonderful husband went to the store and bought me some Pepto-Bismol chewable tablets. I was getting ready to take one or two and I noticed that they are NOT to be taken by anyone on anticoagulants. Apparently they contain aspirin? Just a heads up since it is that icky flu season time of the year here in my part of the world. Hugs all.
