Nimozen Infusion 50 ml

Nimozen Infusion is used in the prevention of brain damage due to subarachnoid haemorrhage. The detailed uses of Nimozen Infusion are as follows:

• Prevent brain damage after subarachnoid hemorrhage: Nimozen Infusion is primarily used to improve neurological outcomes in patients who have suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain) due to a ruptured aneurysm. It works by relaxing cerebral blood vessels and enhancing blood flow to affected brain regions.
• Reduce ischemic deficits in cerebral vasospasm: Nimozen Infusion helps prevent and treat cerebral vasospasm, a dangerous narrowing of blood vessels that often follows a brain hemorrhage. This effect decreases the likelihood of stroke-like symptoms and protects brain tissue from further injury.

Nimozen Infusion belongs to the group of medicines called calcium channel blockers indicated as prophylaxis and treatment of ischaemic neurological deficits caused by cerebral vasospasm (narrowing of blood vessels) following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Nimozen Infusion contains ‘Nimodipine’ that relaxes the smooth muscles of the small blood vessels in the brain, thereby allowing narrowed blood vessels to open up. This helps in increasing blood flow & circulation, reduces blood pressure, and lowers the risk of damage caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain after bleeding.
