Nimodipine Tablets
Function and Efficacy
Nimodipine is a Ca2 channel blocker. Under normal circumstances, the contraction of smooth muscle depends on Ca2 entering the cell, causing the depolarization of the transmembrane current. Nimodipine achieves the purpose of relieving vasospasm by effectively preventing Ca2 from entering the cell and inhibiting smooth muscle contraction. Animal experiments have shown that the effect of nimodipine on cerebral arteries is much stronger than that on arteries in other parts of the body, and because it has a high lipophilic characteristic, it can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier. When used to treat subarachnoid hemorrhage, the concentration in cerebrospinal fluid can reach 12.5ng/ml. It can be inferred that it can be used clinically to prevent vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage, but the mechanism of action of this drug in humans is still unclear. In addition, it also has the function of protecting and promoting memory

Drug Interactions
1. When used in combination with other calcium ion antagonists that act on the cardiovascular system, it can increase the effectiveness of other calcium ion antagonists. 2. When nimodipine 90 mg/day is used in combination with cimetidine 1000 mg/day for more than one week, the blood concentration of nimodipine can increase by 50%, which may be related to the inhibition of nimodipine metabolism by cimetidine in the liver cytochrome P450.
