About Nimotor 30 Tablet

Nimotor 30 Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called 'calcium channel blockers' used to prevent brain function changes after subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleeding around the brain) due to stroke or trauma.

In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as nausea, stomach upset, headache, light-headedness, irregular heartbeat and muscle pain.
