🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine contains nizatidine, which is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist. It works by competitively blocking histamine at the H2 receptors located on the basolateral membrane of gastric parietal cells. This blockade reduces intracellular cyclic AMP levels, leading to decreased secretion of gastric acid. It inhibits both basal and stimulated acid secretion, including that stimulated by food, histamine, and pentagastrin.
