Hello,
using expired products is not recommended unless it's a medical emergency - a matter of life or death, for example, an expired drug in case of an allergic shock when nothing else is available and the patient is dire condition). Nausea is not a medical emergency. Therefore taking expired Pepto-Bismol is strongly discouraged.
I hope I've answered your questions. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Kind Regards,
