Nicoxamat (nicotinohydroxamic acid) is a uricosuric drug that increased urinary excretion of urea and depressed urease activity in the stomach and the colon. Patients receiving nicoxamat showed significant improvement in blood ammonia levels as compared to patients receiving neomycin. In a double-blind clinical trial, 24 patients with the advanced chronic liver disease received 1.2 g of the drug daily. Nicoxamat induced some side effects, such as mild diarrhea, constipation, and anorexia.
