Description:
Ivabrad 5 Tablet is used to treat angina (chest pain related to the heart) and chronic heart failure. It works by lowering the heart rate, helping the heart pump more efficiently and reducing the oxygen demand. This not only helps relieve chest pain but also decreases the risk of hospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure.
The dosage of Ivabrad 5 depends on your specific condition and how you respond to treatment. As treatment for heart-related conditions is often long-term, it’s important not to stop taking the medicine without your doctor’s guidance. Take it with food at the same time each day to maintain steady levels in your body. Overdosing can slow the heart rate too much, leading to symptoms such as extreme fatigue or shortness of breath—seek medical help immediately if this happens.
Common side effects may include temporary brightness in vision (luminous phenomena), slow heart rate, dizziness, blurred vision, high blood pressure, ECG changes, and atrial fibrillation. While most side effects are mild and temporary, some—such as fainting or significant heartbeat irregularities—can be serious and require urgent medical attention. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
Ivabrad 5 should not be used in patients with severe liver problems, a low resting heart rate, abnormal heart rhythms, or unstable heart failure. It may interact with certain medications used to treat high blood pressure, fungal infections, or HIV, so inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking. This medicine is also not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you are planning to conceive.
