Tacidine
23 Jan 2024
TACIDINE contains the active ingredient nizatidine.
Nizatidine belongs to a group of medicines called histamine (H2) antagonist or histamine
(H2) blockers. These medicines work by reducing the amount of stomach acid produced
which in turn reduces the pain and allows the ulcers and/or reflux disease to heal
in most people.
Ulcers
TACIDINE is used to treat both gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. A gastric ulcer
occurs in the stomach. A duodenal ulcer occurs in the duodenum (which is part of your
small intestine). The ulcers can be caused in part by too much acid being made in
the stomach.
TACIDINE is also used to help stop duodenal ulcers from coming back.
Reflux Disease
TACIDINE is also used to treat reflux oesophagitis or reflux disease. This is caused
by "washing back" (reflux) of food and acid from the stomach into the food pipe (also
known as the oesophagus).
Reflux causes burning sensation in the chest rising up to the throat (heartburn) and
most often occurs after eating or at night.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed

TAKHZYRO is a medicine used in adults, and adolescents aged 12 years and older to
prevent angioedema attacks in hereditary angioedema (HAE).
You may still experience acute HAE attacks whilst using TAKHZYRO. You should make
sure that you carry acute attack treatment and that you use this treatment as advised
by your doctor.
HAE is a hereditary condition which means it can run in families. It happens when
your blood does not have enough of a protein called 'C1 esterase inhibitor' (or 'C1
inhibitor'), or it does not work properly. This leads to too much 'plasma kallikrein',
which in turn produces higher levels of 'bradykinin' in your bloodstream. Too much
bradykinin leads to symptoms of HAE like swelling and pain.
TAKHZYRO contains the active substance lanadelumab. It is a type of protein that blocks
the activity of plasma kallikrein. This helps to reduce the amount of bradykinin in
your bloodstream and prevents symptoms associated with HAE.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed
for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason.
This medicine is not addictive.
This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.
