• 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.

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.
