This Type Of Behavior Almost Guarantees Major Bruising!

Hello Again:

If we have been prescribed Nimodipine, we will find that it is an considered to be an effective solution for a variety of conditions, but we will also find that there is a strong chance that it also comes along with side effects of easy bruising.  We may be walking along and suddenly realize that there is a large black and blue bruise on our arm or leg that should not be there.  If this is the case, there are a few things that we need to know about Nimodipine.

If we study the drug, we will find that Nimodipine is most commonly used to treat symptoms that are related to a ruptured blood vessel in the brain (this is a cause for my bruising easily that I do without).  This type of hemorrhage can be dangerous and even deadly, and we will learn that one of the primary ways that Nimodipine helps in this situation is that it will enhance increased blood flow to the injured brain tissue.

Nimodipine is a common prescription drug that is prescribed for a number of different conditions besides brain hemorrhages.  Because this drug has been proved over time to effectively treat a number of different conditions, it becomes an easy and safe route for our doctor to employ, even though there may be other equally effective drugs available for prescription to treat our specific condition.  We should learn what options or alternatives we might have regarding prescription Nimodipine and its side effects, as well as any drug that we are going to be taking.

Outside of an emergency situation, we will find that Nimodipine can also be taken in small doses to prevent migraine headaches.  It is one of the safer and most popular methods to take care of severe migraines, and if we are in a situation where we normally have to deal with migraines, it can be an important treatment.

However, due to the fact that this drug will increase blood flow in any of its various iterations, we will find that we are likely going to be bruising more regularly and more dramatically.  Keep in mind that our bruising easily is probably not caused from our normal activities, but probably because of our use of Nimodipine.  In fact, we are simply dealing with a situation that the drug is not allowing clotting to occur as fast as it otherwise would.

When we bump into something hard, our skin might not be ruptured, but the small blood vessels under our skin might be broken. The result is that blood will pool more freely beneath the skin until it clots; and in a normal situation, we would probably clot quickly enough that we might not develop a visible bruise at all.

When we are taking Nimodipine, however, we will find that the clotting action is much slower and that the blood flow is much more rapid; and depending on the dose that we are taking, the bruising for a simple bump can be quite extreme and dramatic.

Since Nimodipine is often a short term prescription, we should already be following the daily supplement program from Bruises Be Banned. This unique formula is designed to help existing bruises vanish as quickly as possible; but more importantly, it has been repeatedly proved to help us overcome the normal easy bruising that affects some of us and help reduce bruising easily or prevent bruising altogether before it takes place.

Remember that the only thing we have to lose by not following the Bruises Be Banned daily program is our social life because of our ugly bruises.

Talk again soon,
