Nimodipine

Is a calcium channel blocker medication.

Nimodipine is primarily used to prevent brain damage after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the space between the brain and the skull).

Nimocer 30mg Tab (Nimodipine) works by relaxing blood vessels in the brain, which helps to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of further damage. It blocks the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels, preventing them from constricting.
