CompositionNimodip Tablet is primarily used to manage neurological damage following a subarachnoid haemorrhage (a type of stroke). This calcium channel blocker contains nimodipine, which works by preventing the constriction of blood vessels in the brain (cerebral vasospasm). This action helps maintain blood flow, preventing ischemic brain damage and reducing the incidence of poor outcomes and functional dependence.
Nimodip Tablet used to manage and reduce neurological deficits that occur due to vasospasm following a subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleeding in the brain). Its primary role is to prevent brain damage after a ruptured cerebral aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation. By improving blood flow, it manages symptoms of cerebral ischemia (like confusion and speech difficulties) and reduces the incidence of poor outcomes and dependence.

Nausea: Try taking Nimodip Tablet with a meal or snack to help reduce feelings of nausea.
Nimodip Tablet contains nimodipine (30 mg) that works in your body through the following mechanisms:
Relaxation of Cerebral Arteries: Nimodipine relaxes the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of your brain. This allows these arteries, which may have narrowed due to subarachnoid haemorrhage, to widen or dilate.
Enhancement of Blood Circulation: By dilating these narrowed arteries, nimodipine improves blood flow to areas of the brain that may have suffered damage due to subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Prevention of Ischemic Neurological Deficits: Ischemic neurological deficits refer to problems with brain function caused by an insufficient blood supply. Nimodipine helps prevent these deficits by improving blood circulation in your brain.
Reduction of Vasospasm Risk: Vasospasms are constrictions of blood vessels that reduce blood flow. By reducing vasospasms in the cerebral arteries, nimodipine lowers the risk of poor outcomes like long-term disability and death in patients who have suffered a haemorrhagic stroke.
