2 how long does axid 300mg last. Effects on Other Gastrointestinal Secretions --Pepsin: Oral administrationof 75 to 300 mg of Axid did not affect pepsin activity in gastric secretions how long does axid 300mg last. Total pepsin output was reduced in proportion to the reduced volume of gastricsecretions how long does axid 300mg last.

Intrinsic Factor: Oral administration of 75 to 300 mg of Axid increased betazole-stimulatedsecretion of intrinsic factor how long does axid 300mg last.

Serum Gastrin: Axid had no effect on basal serum gastrin how long does axid 300mg last. No rebound of gastrinsecretion was observed when food was ingested 12 hours after administrationof Axid how long does axid 300mg last.

3 how long does axid 300mg last. Other Pharmacologic Actions --

a how long does axid 300mg last. Hormones: Axid was not shown to affect the serum concentrations of gonadotropins,prolactin, growth hormone, antidiuretic hormone, cortisol, triiodothyronine,thyroxin, testosterone, 5(alpha)-dihydrotestosterone, androstenedione, or estradiol how long does axid 300mg last.

b how long does axid 300mg last. Axid had no demonstrable antiandrogenic action how long does axid 300mg last.

4 how long does axid 300mg last. Pharmacokinetics--The absolute oral bioavailability of nizatidine exceeds70% how long does axid 300mg last. Peak plasma concentrations (700 to 1,800 µg/L for a 150-mg dose and1,400 to 3,600 µg/L for a 300-mg dose) occur from 0.5 to 3 hours followingthe dose how long does axid 300mg last. A concentration of 1,000 µg/L is equivalent to 3 µmol/L;a dose of 300 mg is equivalent to 905 µmoles how long does axid 300mg last. Plasma concentrations 12hours after administration are less than 10 µg/L how long does axid 300mg last. The elimination half-lifeis 1 to 2 hours, plasma clearance is 40 to 60 L/h, and the volume of distributionis 0.8 to 1.5 L/kg how long does axid 300mg last. Because of the short half-life and rapid clearance of nizatidine,accumulation of the drug would not be expected in individuals with normal renalfunction who take either 300 mg once daily at bedtime or 150 mg twice daily how long does axid 300mg last. Axid exhibits dose proportionality over the recommended dose range how long does axid 300mg last.

The oral bioavailability of nizatidine is unaffected by concomitant ingestionof propantheline how long does axid 300mg last. Antacids consisting of aluminum and magnesium hydroxides withsimethicone decrease the absorption of nizatidine by about 10% how long does axid 300mg last. With food, theAUC and C max increase by approximately 10% how long does axid 300mg last.

In humans, less than 7% of an oral dose is metabolized as N2-monodes methylnizatidine,an H 2 -receptor antagonist, which is the principal metabolite excreted in theurine how long does axid 300mg last. Other likely metabolites are the N2-oxide (less than 5% of the dose)and the S-oxide (less than 6% of the dose) how long does axid 300mg last.

More than 90% of an oral dose of nizatidine is excreted in the urine within12 hours how long does axid 300mg last. About 60% of an oral dose is excreted as unchanged drug how long does axid 300mg last. Renal clearanceis about 500 mL/min, which indicates excretion by active tubular secretion how long does axid 300mg last. Less than 6% of an administered dose is eliminated in the feces how long does axid 300mg last.

Moderate to severe renal impairment significantly prolongs the half-life anddecreases the clearance of nizatidine how long does axid 300mg last. In individuals who are functionally anephric,the half-life is 3.5 to 11 hours, and the plasma clearance is 7 to 14 L/h how long does axid 300mg last. Toavoid accumulation of the drug in individuals with clinically significant renalimpairment, the amount and/or frequency of doses of Axid should be reduced inproportion to the severity of dysfunction ( see Dosage and Administration ) how long does axid 300mg last.

Approximately 35% of nizatidine is bound to plasma protein, mainly to (alpha)1 -acid glycoprotein how long does axid 300mg last. Warfarin, diazepam, acetaminophen, propantheline, phenobarbital,and propranolol did not affect plasma protein binding of nizatidine in vitro how long does axid 300mg last.

2 how long does axid 300mg last. Maintenance of Healed Duodenal Ulcer: Treatment with a reduced dose of Axidhas been shown to be effective as maintenance therapy following healing of activeduodenal ulcers how long does axid 300mg last. In multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies conductedin the United States, 150 mg of Axid taken at bedtime resulted in a significantlylower incidence of duodenal ulcer recurrence in patients treated for up to 1year (Table 3) how long does axid 300mg last.

3 how long does axid 300mg last. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): In 2 multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlledclinical trials performed in the United States and Canada, Axid was more effectivethan placebo in improving endoscopically diagnosed esophagitis and in healingerosive and ulcerative esophagitis how long does axid 300mg last.

In patients with erosive or ulcerative esophagitis, 150 mg b.i.d how long does axid 300mg last. of Axid givento 88 patients compared with placebo in 98 patients in Study 1 yielded a higherhealing rate at 3 weeks (16% vs 7%) and at 6 weeks (32% vs 16%, P <0.05) how long does axid 300mg last. Of 99 patients on Axid and 94 patients on placebo, Study 2 at the same dosageyielded similar results at 6 weeks (21% vs 11%, P <0.05) and at 12 weeks(29% vs 13%, P <0.01) how long does axid 300mg last.

In addition, relief of associated heartburn was greater in patients treatedwith Axid how long does axid 300mg last. Patients treated with Axid consumed fewer antacids than did patientstreated with placebo how long does axid 300mg last.

4 how long does axid 300mg last. Active Benign Gastric Ulcer: In a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlledstudy conducted in the United States and Canada, endoscopically diagnosed benigngastric ulcers healed significantly more rapidly following administration ofnizatidine than of placebo (Table 4) how long does axid 300mg last.

In a multicenter, double-blind, comparator-controlled study in Europe, healingrates for patients receiving nizatidine (300 mg h.s how long does axid 300mg last. or 150 mg b.i.d.) wereequivalent to rates for patients receiving a comparator drug, and statisticallysuperior to historical placebo control rates how long does axid 300mg last.


INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Axid is indicated for up to 8 weeks for the treatment of active duodenal ulcer how long does axid 300mg last. In most patients, the ulcer will heal within 4 weeks how long does axid 300mg last.

Axid is indicated for maintenance therapy for duodenal ulcer patients, at areduced dosage of 150 mg h.s how long does axid 300mg last. after healing of an active duodenal ulcer how long does axid 300mg last. Theconsequences of continuous therapy with Axid for longer than 1 year are notknown how long does axid 300mg last.

Axid is indicated for up to 12 weeks for the treatment of endoscopically diagnosedesophagitis, including erosive and ulcerative esophagitis, and associated heartburndue to GERD how long does axid 300mg last.

Axid is indicated for up to 8 weeks for the treatment of active benign gastriculcer how long does axid 300mg last. Before initiating therapy, care should be taken to exclude the possibilityof malignant gastric ulceration how long does axid 300mg last.


CONTRAINDICATION
Axid is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug how long does axid 300mg last. Because cross sensitivity in this class of compounds has been observed, H 2-receptor antagonists, including Axid, should not be administered to patientswith a history of hypersensitivity to other H 2 -receptor antagonists how long does axid 300mg last.


PRECAUTIONS
General-- 1 how long does axid 300mg last. Symptomatic response to nizatidine therapy does not preclude thepresence of gastric malignancy how long does axid 300mg last.

2 how long does axid 300mg last. Because nizatidine is excreted primarily by the kidney, dosage should bereduced in patients with moderate to severe renal insufficiency ( see Dosageand Administration ) how long does axid 300mg last.

3 how long does axid 300mg last. Pharmacokinetic studies in patients with hepatorenal syndrome have not beendone how long does axid 300mg last. Part of the dose of nizatidine is metabolized in the liver how long does axid 300mg last. In patientswith normal renal function and uncomplicated hepatic dysfunction, the dispositionof nizatidine is similar to that in normal subjects how long does axid 300mg last.

Laboratory Tests-- False-positive tests for urobilinogen with Multistix®may occur during therapy with nizatidine how long does axid 300mg last.


Drug Interactions -- No interactions have been observed between Axid and theophylline,chlordiazepoxide, lorazepam, lidocaine, phenytoin, and warfarin how long does axid 300mg last. Axid does notinhibit the cytochrome P-450-linked drug-metabolizing enzyme system; therefore,drug interactions mediated by inhibition of hepatic metabolism are not expectedto occur how long does axid 300mg last. In patients given very high doses (3,900 mg) of aspirin daily, increasesin serum salicylate levels were seen when nizatidine, 150 mg b.i.d., was administeredconcurrently how long does axid 300mg last.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility-- A 2-year oral carcinogenicitystudy in rats with doses as high as 500 mg/kg/day (about 80 times the recommendeddaily therapeutic dose) showed no evidence of a carcinogenic effect how long does axid 300mg last. There wasa dose-related increase in the density of enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cellsin the gastric oxyntic mucosa how long does axid 300mg last. In a 2-year study in mice, there was no evidenceof a carcinogenic effect in male mice; although hyperplastic nodules of theliver were increased in the high-dose males as compared with placebo how long does axid 300mg last. Femalemice given the high dose of Axid (2,000 mg/kg/day, about 330 times the humandose) showed marginally statistically significant increases in hepatic carcinomaand hepatic nodular hyperplasia with no numerical increase seen in any of theother dose groups how long does axid 300mg last. The rate of hepatic carcinoma in the high-dose animals waswithin the historical control limits seen for the strain of mice used how long does axid 300mg last. The femalemice were given a dose larger than the maximum tolerated dose, as indicatedby excessive (30%) weight decrement as compared with concurrent controls andevidence of mild liver injury (transaminase elevations) how long does axid 300mg last. The occurrence of amarginal finding at high dose only in animals given an excessive and somewhathepatotoxic dose, with no evidence of a carcinogenic effect in rats, male mice,and female mice (given up to 360 mg/kg/day, about 60 times the human dose),and a negative mutagenicity battery are not considered evidence of a carcinogenicpotential for Axid how long does axid 300mg last.

Axid was not mutagenic in a battery of tests performed to evaluate its potentialgenetic toxicity, including bacterial mutation tests, unscheduled DNA synthesis,sister chromatid exchange, the mouse lymphoma assay, chromosome aberration tests,and a micronucleus test how long does axid 300mg last.

In a 2-generation, perinatal and postnatal fertility study in rats, doses ofnizatidine up to 650 mg/kg/day produced no adverse effects on the reproductiveperformance of parental animals or their progeny how long does axid 300mg last.

Pregnancy--Teratogenic Effects--Pregnancy Category B --Oral reproduction studiesin pregnant rats at doses up to 1500 mg/kg/day (9000 mg/m 2 /day, 40.5 timesthe recommended human dose based on body surface area) and in pregnant rabbitsat doses up to 275 mg/kg/day (3245 mg/m 2 /day, 14.6 times the recommended humandose based on body surface area) have revealed no evidence of impaired fertilityor harm to the fetus due to nizatidine how long does axid 300mg last. There are, however, no adequate andwell-controlled studies in pregnant women how long does axid 300mg last. Because animal reproduction studiesare not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used duringpregnancy only if clearly needed how long does axid 300mg last.

Nursing Mothers-- Studies conducted in lactating women have shown that 0.1%of the administered oral dose of nizatidine is secreted in human milk in proportionto plasma concentrations how long does axid 300mg last. Because of the growth depression in pups reared bylactating rats treated with nizatidine, a decision should be made whether todiscontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importanceof the drug to the mother how long does axid 300mg last.

Pediatric Use-- Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not beenestablished how long does axid 300mg last.

Geriatric Use-- Of the 955 patients in clinical studies who were treated withnizatidine, 337 (35.3%) were 65 and older how long does axid 300mg last. No overall differences in safetyor effectiveness were observed between these and younger subjects how long does axid 300mg last. Other reportedclinical experience has not identified differences in responses between theelderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individualscannot be ruled out how long does axid 300mg last.

This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the riskof toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renalfunction how long does axid 300mg last. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function,care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renalfunction ( see Dosage and Administration ) how long does axid 300mg last.
