Nimodipine tested in a human model of cerebral ischaemia

It is concluded that the anti-ischaemic properties of nimodipine are due to a effect on the central nervous system rather than to an effect on cerebral blood flow.

Interactions between nimodipine and general anaesthesia--clinical investigations in 124 patients during neurosurgical operations.

Nimodipine is a vasodilator drug with a hypotensive action, which is especially obvious in hypertensive patients and in combination with similarly acting agents, such as sodium nitroprusside or nitroglycerin.

Pulmonary vasoconstriction following intravenous nimodipine

A case is reported in which intravenous nimodipine therapy was associated with severe acute pulmonary hypertension in a patient with a subarachnoid haemorrhage. The patient had previously received…
