IVABRADINA MYLAN 7.5mg tablets medication leaflet

C01EB17 • ivabradine • Cardiovascular system | Other cardiac preparations

Ivabradine is a medication used to treat stable angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart) and chronic heart failure. It works by reducing the heart rate without affecting the strength of heart contractions, which helps decrease the heart's oxygen demand and improve cardiac function.

It is particularly indicated for patients who cannot tolerate beta-blockers or those who require additional treatment to control heart rate. Ivabradine is effective in reducing angina symptoms and lowering the risk of hospitalization due to heart failure.

Side effects may include visual disturbances (perception of bright lights), bradycardia (slowed heart rate), dizziness, fatigue, or headaches. It is important for the medication to be taken as prescribed by a doctor, and patients should be monitored to avoid complications.
