Subchronic toxicity RTECS: Not available
Gastrointestinal disturbance, Anorexia., Headache, Jaundice, Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis. Onset may be delayed 2 to 4 hours or longer., A unique encephalopathy occurs in colostomy and ileostomy patients using bismuth subnitrate, bismuth subgallate, and tripotassium- dicitrate-bismuthate for control of fecal odor and consistency. Symptoms include progressive mental confusion, irregular myoclonic jerks, a distinctive pattern of disordered gait, and a variable degree of dysarthria. The severity of the disorder appeared to be independent of dose and duration of therapy and was fatal to patients who continued the use of the bismuth compounds. Full recovery was rapid in those patients in whom therapy was discontinued. Symptoms of chronic bismuth toxicity in humans consists of decreased appetite, weakness, rheumatic pain, diarrhea, fever, metal line on the gums, foul breath, gingivitis, and dermatitis. Jaundice and conjuctival hemorrhage are rare, but have been reported. Bismuth nephropathy with proteinuria may occur. The kidney is the site of
highest concentration with the liver being considerably lower. Bismuth does pass into the amniotic fluid and into the fetus.
