Do not take any antacids for 2 hours before or after taking Nimodip Tablet, as this can prevent the medicine from working properly. Do not stop taking this medicine without first consulting your doctor. Your condition may worsen if this medicine is stopped too soon.

The most common side effects include decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate (tachycardia), headache, stomach discomfort, nausea, rash, muscle cramps, and edema (swelling over the whole body). Consult your doctor if any of these persist or worsen.

Before taking Nimodip Tablet, let your doctor know if you have any heart or liver-related problems.

Benefits of Nimodip Tablet

Treatment of Subarachnoid haemorrhage
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a life-threatening condition caused by bleeding in the space around the brain, often from a burst aneurysm. This bleeding can lead to complications like vasospasm, where brain blood vessels tighten, limiting blood flow. Nimodip Tablet is a medication that helps prevent this by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain. By doing so, it reduces the risk of further brain damage, aiding in recovery and giving patients a better chance of surviving with fewer long-term effects.
