Orally administered nimodipine is standard of care for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and giving the full‑dose regimen has been associated with better outcomes in these patients. However, many factors conspire to hinder full dosing, such as hypotension and gastrointestinal side effects. This workshop reviews the recommended prescribing of oral nimodipine and introduces data from a randomized clinical trial of a new intravenous nimodipine formulation (GTX‑104) that avoids the shortcomings of oral nimodipine.
