Nimodipine

Uses

Nimodipine is used in the treatment of angina (heart-related chest pain), arrhythmia, hypertensive emergencies, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and anal fissures.

How it Works

How Nimodipine works: Nimodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the narrow blood vessels in the brain, facilitating easier blood flow. This action helps prevent brain damage following bleeding around the brain.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Nimodipine include headache, nausea, and hypotension (low blood pressure).

Expert Advice

  • Take Nimodipine as per the dose and duration suggested by your doctor.
  • A sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, especially when you first start taking Nimodipine.
  • To reduce the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.
  • Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure and heart rate during treatment with this medicine.
  • Do not take any antacids for 2 hours before or after taking Nimodipine, as it may affect the efficacy of the medicine.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
  • Nimodipine has been prescribed to improve your blood pressure and/or to reduce the number and severity of angina attacks.
  • Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.
  • Take it at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
  • It can cause ankle or foot swelling; to reduce swelling, raise your legs while sitting.
  • Consult your doctor if the swelling does not go away.
  • It may cause dizziness; do not drive or perform any activity that requires mental focus until you know how Nimodipine affects you.
