Axid

nizatidine), which is available over the counter and by prescription, is a medication that is licensed to treat several conditions related to the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Some specific uses of Axid include the treatment of
gastroesophageal reflux disease (
GERD), duodenal or gastric ulcers,
heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. The medicine reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach by blocking a specific kind of histamine receptor.
Axid comes in both tablet and capsule form and is generally taken once or twice a day. Among the conditions you should let your healthcare provider know about before taking Axid are kidney problems and any
allergies you may have. To reduce the chances of drug interactions occurring, you should also let your healthcare provider know about all of the medicines you may be taking.
