• 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.
