    it's active ingredient is Bismuth subsalicylate which is an aspirin derivitive
  • which in turn is a willow bark derrivative - it'll just end up less effective worst case scenario
  • What do you have to lose by taking them back? Nothing - unless it is a long journey. What have you to gain? Peace of mind and possibly more effective medication.

    It's a no brainer - take them back! Your explanation is a good one. Even if the storekeeper says 'no' you haven't lost anything.
