Hazard Classes and CategoriesAcute Tox. 4 (97.6%)
Disposal methodsSRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.
InteractionsConcurrent use /of antacids/ with histamine H2-receptor antagonists in the treatment of peptic ulcer may be indicated for the relief of painhowever, simultaneous administration of antacids of medium to high potency (80 mmol to 150 mmol HCl) is not recommended since absorption of histamine H2-receptor antagonists may be decreasedpatients should be advised not to take any antacids within 1/2 to 1 hour of histamine H2-receptor antagonists. /Histamine H2-receptor antagonists/Concurrent use /of bone marrow depressants/ with H2-receptor antagonists may increase the risk of neutropenia or other blood dyscrasias. /Histamine H2-receptor antagonists/Histamine H2-receptor antagonists may increase gastrointestinal pHconcurrent administration of ketoconazole with histamine H2-receptor antagonists may result in a marked reduction in absorption of ketoconazolepatients should be advised to take histamine H2-receptor antagonists at least 2 hours after ketoconazole. /Histamine H2-receptor antagonists/Although a decrease in absorption is only reported in the literature for cimetidine and ranitidine, concurrent use with sucralfate may decrease the absorption of any H2-receptor antagonistpatients should be advised to take an H2-receptor antagonist 2 hours before sucralfate. /Histamine H2-receptor antagonists/No drug interactions were reported when nizatidine and theophylline, lidocaine, warfarin, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, or lorazepam were used together.
HepatotoxicityChronic therapy with nizatidine and other H2 blockers is associated with minor elevations in serum aminotransferase levels in 1% to 4% of patients, but similar rates have been reported in placebo recipients. The ALT elevations are usually asymptomatic and transient and may resolve without dose modification. Rare instances of clinically apparent liver injury have been reported in patients receiving nizatidine, but too few cases have been reported to characterize a typical time to onset or pattern of injury. More information is available on the hepatotoxicity of other H2 blockers such as ranitidine and cimetidine which have been implicated in causing clinically apparent liver injury in 1:20,000 to 1:100,000 users. The time to onset of H2 blocker induced liver injury tends to be short, between 1 and 6 weeks of starting. The typical pattern of serum enzyme elevations varies from hepatocellular to cholestatic, most cases being “mixed”. The injury can be severe, but is typically mild-to- moderate in severity and self-limited in course, resolving within 4 to 12 weeks of stopping. Immunoallergic features (rash, fever, eosinophilia) are uncommon, as is autoantibody formation. Liver biopsy histology often shows centrolobular (zone 3) necrosis with mixed cellular infiltrates and mild cholestasis.
Human Toxicity ExcerptsNizatidine may inhibit alcohol dehydrogenase in the gastric mucosa and produce higher serum levels of alcohol, but this does not appear to be clinically significant.

Non-Human Toxicity ExcerptsStudies in rats and mice with oral doses many times the recommended human dose showed no evidence of carcinogenicity.Studies in rats and rabbits with oral doses up to 300 and 55 times the human dose, respectively, have not shown that nizatidine impairs fertility.Rabbits treated with a dose equivalent to 300 times the human dose had abortions, a decreased number of live fetuses, and depressed fetal weights.Nizatidine is distributed into milk in rats, and growth depression has occurred in the offspring of lactating rats treated with the drug.For more Non-Human Toxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for NIZATIDINE (9 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

Applications & Uses

Uses

The value of nizatidine in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease is comparable with that of ranitidine and cimetidine. 1 or 2 times daily dosing can typically cure duodenal ulcer within 8 weeks; a single dose administration daily can prevent recurrence (Bianchi-Porro and Keohane, 1987; Stern, 1988). The efficacy of nizatidine in the treatment of stomach ulcers is similar as that of other H2-blockers but with little information available. For reflux esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other kinds of peptic ulcer diseases, it is expected to generate a equal effect as ranitidine but this still needs clinical studies.

Uses

It is a kind of H2 receptor antagonists. It can be used for the prevention of active duodenal ulcer, benign gastric ulcer and prevention of recurrence after the healing of the active duodenal ulcer.

Description

Nizatidine is the fifth H2-antagonist introduced to the world market as an antiulcer agent. It is reported to be effective in the treatment of both duodenal and gastric ulcers or the prevention of their recurrences. Given once-daily, nizatidine’s bioavailability is not diminished by the concurrent administration of an antacid.

Uses

Histamine H2-receptor antagonist related to Ranitidine (R120000). Antiulcerative.

Uses

immune suppressant, antineoplastic, antiviral

Uses

For the treatment of acid-reflux disorders (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, active benign gastric ulcer, and active duodenal ulcer.

Uses

Nizatidine is used for treating stomach and duodenum ulcers and other conditions accompanied by elevated acidity of the gastrointestinal tract.

General Description

Nizatidine, N-[2-[[[2-(dimethylamino)methyl]-4-thiazolyl]methyl]thio]-ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine (Axid), is an off-white to buff crystallinesolid that is soluble in water, alcohol, and chloroform. It isa thaizole derivative of raniditine and has pKas of 2.1 (side chain) and 6.8 (dimethylamino). Nizatidine’s mechanism ofaction is similar to other H2-antagonists, as is its receptor selectivity.It is more potent than cimetidine.Nizatidine has excellent oral bioavailability (>90%).The effects of antacids or food on its bioavailability arenot clinically significant. The elimination half-life is 1 to2 hours. It is excreted primarily in the urine (90%) andmostly as unchanged drug (60%). Metabolites include nizatidinesulfoxide (6%), N-desmethylnizatidine (7%), andnizatidine N-oxide (dimethylaminomethyl function).Nizatidine has no demonstrable antiandrogenic action, effectson other hormones, or inhibitory effects on cytochromeisozymes involved in the metabolism of other drugs.
