Product Description

Angina (chest pain) and heart failure are two conditions that are treated using the drug ivabradine. It functions by lowering heart rate, which can lessen stress on the heart and enhance its performance.

Ivabradine is commonly prescribed at a starting dose of 5 mg twice day, and if necessary, the dosage may be increased to 7.5 mg twice daily after 3 - 4 weeks of treatment. The precise dosage and length of treatment, however, should be decided by a healthcare professional based on your unique health situation and medical history.

Ivabradine can interact with other drugs, therefore it might not be appropriate for everyone. It may also have adverse effects like weariness, dizziness, and blurred vision, so it's crucial to carefully follow your doctor's instructions and report any worrying symptoms right away.

Again, I cannot emphasise enough that you should always seek medical advice from a qualified professional before taking any drug, even pills of ivabradine.

Uses

This medication is used by people with a certain heart problem (chronic heart failure), to help prevent it from getting worse and needing treatment in a hospital. Heart failure is a condition where your heart does not pump blood as well as it should. Ivabradine works by making your heart beat more slowly. It should not be used if you have a slow resting heartbeat (less than 60 beats per minute) before starting ivabradine, have low blood pressure, or if your heart failure symptoms have recently gotten worse.
