Nimodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat cerebrovascular disease, especially cerebral arterial spasm. It improves blood supply to the brain by dilating cerebral blood vessels, increasing cerebral blood flow. Nimodipine is mainly used to prevent and treat vasospasm after cerebral hemorrhage, helping to reduce the risk of brain hypoxia and re-bleeding. In addition, nimodipine can be used to treat other cerebrovascular diseases, such as brain aneurysms.
