	The Nitrogen Family: BISMUTH!!
		Bismuth is a relatively rare metal found in the earth's crust at about the same abundance as silver and almost never occurring in the native state.
		Bismuth is found free in nature and in such ores as bismuth glance and bismite which are primarily found in South America but are rare in the United States.
		Bismuth is used in a wide variety of pigments ranging from cosmetics to the coloration of glass, decorative glazing, enameling and "metallic" automotive paints, as well as UV or heat-absorbing coatings for outer-space and strategic applications.

		The binding of bismuth to proteins of exposed ulcer tissue and the formation of a protective coating is proposed as a mode of action for the ulcer-healing behavior of some bismuth compounds.
		The indisputable antimicrobial activity of various bismuth compounds at appropriate concentrations, the relatively low elemental human-cell cytotoxicity, and the apparent gastric cytoprotective properties of certain bismuth salts highlight the chemistry of bismuth as an important focus for the development or discovery of new gastrointestinal pharmaceutical agents.

	Bismuth Subsalicylate Drug Information, Professional
		—Bismuth subsalicylate is used, in combination with oral antibiotic therapy, in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori –associated gastritis and duodenal ulcer.
		Bismuth subsalicylate may exert its antidiarrheal action not only by stimulating absorption of fluid and electrolytes across the intestinal wall (antisecretory action) but also, when hydrolyzed to salicylic acid, by inhibiting synthesis of a prostaglandin responsible for intestinal inflammation and hypermotility.
		Note: Although significant interactions are unlikely with usual doses of bismuth subsalicylate in the treatment of diarrhea and for occasional relief of gastric distress, the higher doses and the longer therapy used in the prophylaxis of traveler's diarrhea increase the potential for significant drug interactions.
