To determine the total number of tablets to dispense for Bismuth Subsalicylate, we need to know a few additional details. Specifically, we need to know the duration of treatment and the number of tablets required per day.

In the given prescription, it states to take 2 tablets QID. The abbreviation "QID" stands for "quater in die," which means four times a day. Therefore, the patient is required to take 2 tablets four times a day.

To calculate the total number of tablets required for the entire treatment duration, we need to know the length of the treatment period. Let's assume the treatment period is for 7 days:

Tablets per day: 2 tablets × 4 times = 8 tablets per day
Total tablets for 7 days: 8 tablets/day × 7 days = 56 tablets

So, for a 7-day treatment, the total number of tablets to dispense would be 56 tablets. However, if the treatment period differs, you can apply the same calculation by adjusting the number of days accordingly.
