Nimocer 30 mg Tablet is used to prevent brain function changes after subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleeding around the brain). It contains Nimodipine which relaxes the smooth muscles of the small blood vessels in the brain, allowing narrowed blood vessels to open up, making it easier for the blood to flow. This medicine may sometimes cause side effects such as nausea, stomach upset, headache, light-headedness, irregular heartbeat and muscle pain. Inform the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking any other medication, or have any pre-existing medical conditions.
