 Axid for Heartburn and Gastric Reflux, 2007-04-30
Axid (generic name: Nizatidine) is a low-cost, generic over-the-counter medication that consumers can buy without a prescription. It is used to treat persistent heartburn and stomach ulcers. Axid works by decreasing the secretions of stomach acids. When too much stomach acid is produced, some can "leak" out in a retrograde fashion and move into the esophagus, where it can burn the lining of the esophagus and cause the sensation of heartburn. Axid is also used to treat stomach and esophageal ulcers.
Axid is about as potent as its counterpart, Zantac, another anti-acid medication in the same class as Axid. Axid is not as potent as Prilosec or Prevacid, both very srong stomach acid inhibitors. For those with occasional bothersome mild heartburn, Axid is a good place to start in terms of treatment. It is relatively cheap, and it is effective in controlling mild cases of heartburn. However, in more persistant and serious cases, one may consider taking the more potent (and more costly) Prilosec or Prevacid. The latter two medications generally work in cases where Zantac and Axid will not. Always best to check with your doctor first.
Axid is taken once or twice a day, with the usual dose being 150 to 300 mg. Read the label insert to learn what medications Axid can potentially interact with.
Axid is a good place to start treatment of heartburn. If it does not do the job for you, consider moving on to Prilosec and/or Prevacid.
