Nimodip Tablet is used for the following:

• Handling neurological deficits due to vasospasm after a recent subarachnoid haemorrhage.

• Preventing brain damage following a ruptured cerebral aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation.

• Managing symptoms of cerebral ischemia such as confusion, weakness, and speech difficulties.

• Reducing the incidence of poor outcomes and dependence in daily activities following a subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Nimodip Tablet is taken orally.

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.

• Store Nimodip Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine away from heat, light, and moisture.

• Make sure to place it out of reach of children.

• Use the tablet before its expiry date.

• As Nimodip Tablet is used to manage conditions related to brain function, it's beneficial to include omega-3 fatty acids in your diet; these are found in fish like salmon or mackerel. Omega-3 fats support brain health and blood flow.

• Physical activity like brisk walking can help improve your blood circulation, providing more oxygen and nutrients to your brain, which is crucial for its healthy functioning.
