Nizatidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production, and is commonly used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease.[1]

It was patented in 1980 and approved for medical use in 1988.[2][3] It was developed by Eli Lilly. Brand names include Tazac and Axid.

Medical use[]

Main article: H2 antagonist

Nizatidine is used to treat duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/GORD), and to prevent stress ulcers.[4]

Adverse effects[]

Side effects are uncommon, usually minor, and include diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, drowsiness, headache, and muscle aches.[4]

History and development[]

Nizatidine was developed by Eli Lilly, and was first marketed in 1988.[2] 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.[5] Subsequently, Reliant developed the oral solution of Axid, marketing this in 2004, after gaining approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[6] However, a year later, they sold rights of the Axid Oral Solution (including the issued patent[7] protecting the product) to Braintree Laboratories.[8]

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

Axid (nizatidine) drug recalled due to presence of NDMA
