The analytical test procedures currently established for the determination of the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist nimodipine in biological fluids are presented. Method of choice which has been dominantly used in pharmacokinetic investigations and drug interaction studies is gas chromatography with electron-capture

Nimodipine is a 1,4-dihydropyridine-derivative Ca(2+)-channel blocker developed approximately 30 years ago. It is highly lipophilic, crosses the blood-brain barrier, and reaches brain and cerebrospinal fluid. Early treatment with nimodipine reduces the severity of neurological deficits resulting from vasospasm in subarachnoid
