nimodipine and Spasm

nimodipine has been researched along with Spasm in 8 studies

Nimodipine: A calcium channel blockader with preferential cerebrovascular activity. It has marked cerebrovascular dilating effects and lowers blood pressure.
nimodipine : A dihydropyridine that is 1,4-dihydropyridine which is substituted by methyl groups at positions 2 and 6, a (2-methoxyethoxy)carbonyl group at position 3, a m-nitrophenyl group at position 4, and an isopropoxycarbonyl group at position 5. An L-type calcium channel blocker, it acts particularly on cerebral circulation, and is used both orally and intravenously for the prevention and treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Spasm: An involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. Spasms may involve SKELETAL MUSCLE or SMOOTH MUSCLE.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To prevent and treat the ischemic complications due to the vasospasm, this report suggest the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage by the association of antifibrinolytics (tranexamic acid) to lower the risk of rebleeding, calcium channel blockers (nimodipine), and the keeping of an effective total blood volume (thanks to volume expansion and dopamine)."3.68[Evaluation of the treatment of aneurysmal meningeal hemorrhage with antifibrinolytic agents, calcium inhibitors and maintenance of effective blood volume].
