Scientific Evidence
Nimodipine, the active ingredient in Nemotan tablets, is a calcium channel blocker that specifically acts on cerebral blood vessels. By blocking calcium influx into smooth muscle cells, nimodipine dilates cerebral arteries, increasing blood flow to the brain. This mechanism is crucial in the treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage, where vasospasm can lead to poor neurological outcomes.
Additional Information
- Nemotan (nimodipine) has been extensively studied in clinical trials for its efficacy in improving outcomes post-subarachnoid hemorrhage. Research has shown that nimodipine significantly reduces the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia and improves neurological outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
- Compared to other calcium channel blockers, nimodipine has a higher affinity for cerebral blood vessels, making it a preferred choice for the prevention of vasospasm and its associated complications in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients.
