Nizatidine, sold under the brand name Axid, is a medication used to treat stomach ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease.[1] It may be take for 4 to 12 weeks.[2] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include headache and dizziness.[1] Other side effects may include pneumonia.[1] No harm has been found in pregnancy, but such use has not been well studied.[3] Use when breastfeeding appears safe.[2] It is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production.[1]

Nizatidine was patented in 1980 and approved for medical use in 1987.[4] It was approved in the United States in 1988.[1] It is available as a generic medication and over the counter.[2] In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £18 as of 2021.[2] In the United States this costs about 20 USD.[5]

Medical use

Nizatidine is used to treat duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/GORD), and to prevent stress ulcers.[6]

Dosage

It is used at a dose of 75 to 150 mg by mouth once or twice per day.[1]

Side effects

Side effects are uncommon, usually minor, and include diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, drowsiness, headache, and muscle aches.[6]

History

Nizatidine was developed by Eli Lilly, and was first marketed in the United States in 1988.[7] It is considered to be equipotent with ranitidine and differs by the substitution of a thiazole ring in place of the furan ring in ranitidine. In September 2000, Eli Lilly announced they would sell the sales and marketing rights for Axid to Reliant Pharmaceuticals.[8] Subsequently, Reliant developed the oral solution of Axid, marketing this in 2004, after gaining approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[9] However, a year later, they sold rights of the Axid Oral Solution (including the issued patent[10] protecting the product) to Braintree Laboratories.[11]

Nizatidine proved to be the last new histamine H2 receptor antagonist introduced prior to the advent of proton pump inhibitors.[citation needed]
