Description: Bredin is an L type cerebro-selective calcium channel blocker. It inhibits voltage regulated and receptor mediated calcium channels, thus blocking the entry of calcium intracellularly, thereby saving the cell from the extensive influx of calcium which causes cell death. It dilates arteries in spasm, following subarachnoid hemorrhage, thus improving the blood flow to the respective area of the brain.

It improves collateral circulation and keeps the penumbra alive after acute ischeamic stroke.

Indications: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), Ischemic stroke, Cerebral dysfunction.

Dosage: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH): 2 tablets 4 hourly for 21 days. Cerebral dysfunction : 1 tablet T.I.D. or as recommended by the physician. Ischemic stroke: 1 tablet Q.I.D. for 10-15 days.

How supplied: Bredin is available in a blister pack of 3x10’s tablet.
