Nimotop

Active Ingredient: Nimodipine

Nimotop is used to decrease problems due to a certain type of bleeding in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage).

General information
Nimotop is called a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing narrowed blood vessels in the brain near the area of bleeding so blood can flow more easily. This effect reduces brain damage. Nimotop is used to prevent brain damage caused by reduced blood flow to the brain resulting from aneurysm, a dilated or ruptured blood vessel in the brain. This medication may also be used to decrease problems due to stroke.
Directions
Take Nimotop exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Take each dose with a full glass of water. Take it on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after meals. Nimotop is usually started as soon as possible after the start of bleeding in the brain, usually within 4 days. Do not take antacids for 2 hours before or after taking the drug.
