Nimocer 30 mg Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medicines called 'calcium channel blockers' used to prevent brain function changes after subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleeding around the brain) due to stroke or trauma. Subarachnoid haemorrhage is bleeding around the brain, usually bleeding from an aneurysm (a weakened area in a blood vessel).
 
Nimocer 30 mg Tablet 10's contains ‘Nimodipine’ that 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 helps increase blood flow & circulation, reduces blood pressure, prevents spasms in blood vessels and lowers the risk of damage caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain after bleeding.

Subarachnoid haemorrhage: Subarachnoid haemorrhage is bleeding in the subarachnoid space in the brain, usually bleeding from an aneurysm (a weakened area in the blood vessel). Subarachnoid space is the space where cerebrospinal fluid circulates, which protects the brain from injury. Due to haemorrhage, the blood supply to the brain is reduced, which leads to disruption of brain functions leading to its damage. The main symptom of subarachnoid haemorrhage is a sudden, severe headache. Other symptoms include neck pain, shoulder pain, confusion, seizures, irritability, double vision and rapid alertness loss.
