title: Relationship between steady-state plasma nizatidine concentrations and inhibition of basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion.
abstract: Steady-state plasma nizatidine concentrations were related in a linear fashion to nizatidine infusion rate. Infusion rates of 2.5, 10, and 20 mg/hr resulted in mean plasma nizatidine concentrations of 69, 247, and 575 ng/ml. Basal acid secretion was inhibited by 50% and 90% at mean plasma nizatidine concentrations of 60 and 430 ng/ml. Protein-stimulated acid secretion was inhibited by 50% and 90% at mean plasma nizatidine concentrations of 75 and 490 ng/ml. The mean pH of basal gastric secretions was 1.6 during placebo infusion and 4.6 when the mean plasma nizatidine concentration was 575 ng/ml.
