Diotame Anti-Diarrheal Chewable Tablets

Diotame is Medique's bismuth subsalicylate chewable tablet — the same active ingredient found in the familiar pink over-the-counter remedies, packaged for the way workplaces, clinics, and first aid stations actually dispense medication. Each tablet delivers 262 mg of bismuth subsalicylate to relieve diarrhea, upset stomach, nausea, indigestion, and that general queasiness that sends someone looking for the first aid cabinet mid-shift.

The reason facilities stock Diotame rather than a retail brand comes down to format. Our Medique Diotame, 262 mg, 500 per Box (22013) is built for bulk dispensing — a high-count box that keeps per-dose cost low and refills infrequent, ideal for industrial first aid programs, breakrooms, and safety stations that follow OSHA-style stocking practices. For smaller kits or lighter turnover, the Diotame 262 mg chewable (22033) covers the same need in a more modest quantity.

Dosing follows the standard bismuth subsalicylate guidance: adults and children 12 and over chew two tablets, repeating every 30 to 60 minutes as symptoms require, without exceeding the daily maximum on the label. Because it contains a salicylate, Diotame should be kept away from anyone advised against aspirin, children recovering from flu or chickenpox, and it's worth flagging to buyers that it can temporarily darken the tongue and stool — harmless, but a common question. The chewable form means no water is needed, which matters in a plant floor or field setting where a fountain isn't nearby.

Diotame pairs naturally with the other single-symptom tablets that fill a well-run first aid station. Explore the broader OTC Medications category to round out your antacid, pain relief, and cold remedy shelves in the same industrial-pack formats.
