Product Description

Product Name: Nimotop Tablets 30mg

Product Form: Tablets 

Pack Size: 30's

Manufactured By: Bayer Pharma (Pvt) Ltd

Used For

  • Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Nimodipine is mainly used to prevent and treat delayed cerebral ischemia following a subarachnoid hemorrhage. It helps reduce the risk of complications, such as brain damage due to reduced blood flow.
  • Migraine Prevention: Although not its primary indication, nimodipine may be used off-label to prevent migraines in some patients.

Nimodipine selectively blocks calcium channels in the smooth muscle of blood vessels, leading to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). This helps to increase cerebral blood flow and reduce the risk of ischemic damage.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

  • Headache
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness: Particularly when standing up.
  • Flushing: A sensation of warmth or redness in the skin.
  • Nausea or gastrointestinal upset.
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension): This can occur, especially if combined with other antihypertensive medications.

Less common but serious side effects may include:

  • Severe hypotension: Significant drops in blood pressure can lead to fainting or shock.
  • Tachycardia: A rapid heart rate may occur in some individuals.
  • Allergic Reactions: Rarely, it may cause severe allergic reactions, including rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

Precautions

  • Monitoring Blood Pressure: Regular monitoring of blood pressure is essential, especially during the initiation of therapy or dosage changes.
  • Heart Conditions: Use with caution in patients with existing heart conditions, such as heart failure or severe hypotension.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use, as safety during pregnancy and lactation is not fully established.
  • Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about all medications being taken, as nimodipine can interact with other drugs, particularly those affecting blood pressure.
