NIMOCER 30MG TABLET

NIMOCER 30MG TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called 'calcium channel blockers' used to prevent brain function changes after subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleeding around the brain) due to stroke or trauma. Subarachnoid haemorrhage is bleeding around the brain, usually bleeding from an aneurysm (a weakened area in a blood vessel).
 
NIMOCER 30MG TABLET contains ‘Nimodipine’ that relaxes the smooth muscles of the small blood vessels in the brain, allowing narrowed blood vessels to open up, making it easier for the blood to flow. This helps increase blood flow & circulation, reduces blood pressure, prevents spasms in blood vessels and lowers the risk of damage caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain after bleeding. 
 
You are advised to take NIMOCER 30MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as nausea, stomach upset, headache, light-headedness, irregular heartbeat and muscle pain. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side-effects persist or worsen. 
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant. Avoid breastfeeding while taking NIMOCER 30MG TABLET. Drive or operate machinery only if you are alert as NIMOCER 30MG TABLET may cause dizziness and decreased alertness. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking NIMOCER 30MG TABLET as it might cause increased dizziness. NIMOCER 30MG TABLET is not recommended for children below 18 years of age as safety and effectiveness have not been established.
