- Axid AR is a non-prescription medicine that contains nizatidine, an ingredient that doctors have prescribed for years.
- Axid AR works by reducing the production of stomach acid that can cause heartburn.
- In clinical studies, Axid AR was significantly better than placebo in relieving and preventing heartburn symptoms.
Heartburn: a problem that can interfere with your lifestyle
The stomach normally produces acid, especially following eating and drinking. Sometimes acid backing up into the esophagus can cause a burning pain and discomfort. This pain and discomfort is commonly known as heartburn.
When taken as directed, Axid AR relieves and/or prevents heartburn.
Tips for managing heartburn
- Avoid lying down flat or bending over soon after eating.
- Avoid eating late at night, or just before bedtime.
- Avoid certain foods or beverages more likely to cause heartburn, such as rich, spicy, fried foods; chocolate, caffeine, alcohol; even some fruits and vegetables.
- Eat slowly and do not eat big meals.
- If you are overweight, lose weight.
- If you smoke, stop or cut down.
- Elevate the head of your bed.
- Avoid wearing tight fitting clothing around your stomach.
