Buy Nimotop (Nimodipine) from Maple Leaf Medications.

Nimotop Uses 

Nimotop, with the generic name nimodipine, is a medicine that improves neurological outcomes by reducing the incidence and severity of ischemic deficits in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to ruptured intracranial berry aneurysms regardless of the post-ictus neurological condition.  

This is available in Nimotop 30 mg tablet form. 

Nimotop Mechanism of Action 

This calcium channel blocker works by inhibiting calcium ion transfer into smooth muscle cells. Thus, it inhibits contractions of vascular smooth muscle. In essence, Nimotop has the effect of relaxing narrowed blood vessels in the brain where bleeding is occurring, allowing blood to flow more freely. This reduces damage to the brain.
