Nimodip 10 mg Infusion 50 ml

Nimodip 10 mg Infusion belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers indicated as prophylaxis and treatment of ischaemic neurological deficits caused by narrowing of blood vessels following subarachnoid haemorrhage of aneurysmal origin. Subarachnoid haemorrhage is the bleeding around the brain which is usually the result of bleeding from an aneurysm (a weakened area in a blood vessel).
 
Nimodip 10 mg Infusion contains ‘Nimodipine’ that relaxes the smooth muscles of the small blood vessels in the brain, thereby allowing narrowed blood vessels to open up. This helps in increasing blood flow & circulation, reduces blood pressure, and lowers the risk of damage caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain after bleeding.
 
In some cases, Nimodip 10 mg Infusion may cause side effects such as low blood pressure, vasodilation, nausea, constipation, flatulence, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Nimodip 10 mg Infusion is used in the prevention of brain damage due to subarachnoid haemorrhage. The detailed uses of Nimodip 10 mg Infusion are as follows:

• Prevent brain damage after subarachnoid hemorrhage: Nimodip 10 mg Infusion is primarily used to improve neurological outcomes in patients who have suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain) due to a ruptured aneurysm. It works by relaxing cerebral blood vessels and enhancing blood flow to affected brain regions.
• Reduce ischemic deficits in cerebral vasospasm: Nimodip 10 mg Infusion helps prevent and treat cerebral vasospasm, a dangerous narrowing of blood vessels that often follows a brain hemorrhage. This effect decreases the likelihood of stroke-like symptoms and protects brain tissue from further injury.

• Nimodip 10 mg Infusion is administered only by a healthcare professional, typically through a slow intravenous infusion.
• Dosage and duration are determined by the doctor based on the patient's condition and response to treatment.
• Do not self-administer this medication.
• Improper use can lead to serious side effects, including dangerously low blood pressure.
• Patients are closely monitored during treatment for vital signs and neurological status to ensure safety and effectiveness.
