IVABRADINE is a heart medicine suggested to treat symptomatic stable angina pectoris and chronic heart failure. IVABRADINE comes under the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel blockers that slow the heart rate by a few beats per minute so that the heart can pump more oxygenated blood according to the need of the body. IVABRADINE is responsible for reducing oxygen requirement in conditions where the angina attack may happen. In this way, this medicine controls and reduces the number of angina attacks. Additionally, a high rate could affect the functioning of the heart and may cause serious consequences in patients dealing with chronic heart failure. By reducing the heart rate, this medicine improves the heart’s functioning and helps improve chronic heart failure.
IVABRADINE should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. Seek medical attention immediately if you notice any sign of an allergic reaction, including hives, swelling of the face, lips, and difficulty breathing. The possible side effects of using IVABRADINE include feeling tired, irregular or rapid feeling heartbeat, headache, dizziness, visual impairment or blurry vision. IVABRADINE may increase the brightness of the eyes, especially during the first two months after starting the treatment. These effects will pass with time or after the completion of treatment.
