Product Overview

Generic Name: Ivabradine
Drug Class: Heart Rate Lowering Medication

Product Introduction:

Ivabradine Tablet is a medication used primarily to treat angina (heart-related chest pain) and chronic heart failure. It works by lowering the heart rate, which helps the heart work more efficiently. This not only alleviates chest pain but also reduces the risk of hospitalization for heart failure patients.

Uses:

• Treatment of Angina: Helps reduce chest pain by lowering the heart’s oxygen demand.
• Treatment of Heart Failure: Improves heart efficiency and reduces symptoms associated with heart failure.

How to Use:

• Take Ivabradine Tablet with food at the same time each day.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it.
• Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, as the treatment is usually life-long.
• If you accidentally take too much, seek medical attention immediately as it could lead to a dangerously slow heart rate, causing breathlessness or fatigue.
