Ivabid OD 10 Tablet

Description

Product Description

Ivabid OD 10 Tablet contains Ivabradine (10mg), a heart rate-lowering medicine used in the treatment of chronic heart failure and stable angina (chest pain). It works by slowing the heart rate, allowing the heart to pump blood more efficiently. This helps reduce strain on the heart, improves oxygen supply, and minimizes symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and fatigue. The “OD” in its name stands for “Once Daily,” indicating a long-acting formulation for convenient dosing.
