Nizatidine
Nizatidine is an oral medication that belongs to the class of histamine H2 receptor antagonists (H2 blockers). It is primarily used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. By blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining, nizatidine reduces the production of stomach acid, providing relief from symptoms like heartburn and stomach pain.
