Nizatidine is used to treat other disorders where the stomach produces too much acid as well as to cure ulcers and prevent their recurrence. Additionally, infrequent heartburn, acid reflux, and sour stomach are treated or prevented with nizatidine. It lessens the production of stomach acid. It is possible to get nizatidine with or without a prescription.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details if you’re interested in using this drug for any other conditions.

Nizatidine is available in oral tablet and capsule forms. It is typically taken twice daily, with or without food, or once daily at bedtime. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any instructions you do not understand, and carefully follow any instructions on the packaging or on the label of your prescription. Follow the nizatidine directions precisely. Never take it in larger or less amounts or more frequently than directed by your doctor.

Stop taking nizatidine and contact your doctor if heartburn, acid indigestion, or sour stomach symptoms persist for more than two weeks while you’re taking it.

Before taking nizatidine,

• If you have an allergy to nizatidine or any other medication, tell your doctor and pharmacist very away.
• Inform your doctor and pharmacist about all prescription and over-the-counter drugs you are taking, especially vitamins, antacids like Maalox or Mylanta, aspirin, and antacids.
• If you have kidney or liver problems now or in the past, let your doctor know.
• Inform your doctor if you are expecting, intend to get pregnant, or are nursing a baby. Call your doctor if you become pregnant while taking nizatidine.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If the next dose is soon due, skip the missed one and carry on with your regular dosing plan. To make up for a missing dose, do not take a second one.

Keep this medication tightly closed in the original container and out of the reach of children. Store it away from excessive heat and moisture at room temperature (not in the bathroom).

As many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and are simple for young children to open, it is crucial to keep all medications out of sight and out of reach of children. Always lock safety caps and promptly stash medication up and away from young children where it is out of their sight and reach to prevent poisoning. http://www.upandaway.org

Unused prescriptions must be disposed of carefully to prevent pets, kids, and other people from ingesting them. You should not, however, dispose of this medication in the toilet. Instead, utilising a medicine take-back programme is the easiest approach to get rid of your medication. To find out about take-back programmes in your area, speak with your pharmacist or the garbage/recycling department in your city. If you do not have access to a take-back programme, see the FDA’s Safe Disposal of Medicines website at http://goo.gl/c4Rm4p for additional information.

Call the poison control hotline at 1-800-222-1222 in the event of an overdose. Additionally, information can be found online at https://www.poisonhelp.org/help. Call 911 right once if the person has collapsed, experienced a seizure, is having difficulty breathing, or cannot be roused.

Keep all of your doctor’s appointments.

No one else should take your medication. Any queries you may have regarding medication refills should be directed to your pharmacist.

You should keep a written record of every medication you take, including any over-the-counter (OTC) items, prescription drugs, and dietary supplements like vitamins and minerals. This list should be brought with you whenever you see a doctor or are admitted to the hospital. You should always have this information with you in case of emergencies.
