The nearest equivalent to Pepto-Bismol is called Digene and it is not really the same thing although it works just as well. On the other hand, every street corner pharmacist knows the common medications by their generic names and can sell them to you. You just need to be sure what you are buyng or ask a local GP .
Kaolin preparation (Pepto-Bismol), Imodium or Lomotil - for stomach upsets.
Antacid tablets - for acidity
But guess there not all in one solution like Pepto .
