Amneal offers generic Axid

Amneal is once again offering nizatidine oral solution, 15 mg/mL (75 mg/5 mL).

The product is the generic of Axid.

The company noted that it is the only oral liquid form of nizatidine available in the United States.

“Nizatidine has been a trusted active ingredient for over 30 years. Patients, prescribers and pharmacists have seen their treatment options dwindle, which is why we are so pleased to bring the oral liquid formulation back to market,” said Joe Todisco, executive vice president, chief commercial officer of Amneal’s specialty division.

Nizatidine oral solution is used for the short-term treatment and maintenance therapy of ulcers and for the treatment of esophagitis and associated heartburn due to gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Amneal's product is available as a peppermint-flavored liquid sold in 480 mL bottles.
