Ivabid OD 15mg Tablet

Description

Product Description

Ivabid OD 15mg Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Ivabradine 15mg, manufactured by Abbott. It is primarily used to treat chronic stable angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart) and chronic heart failure in patients who cannot tolerate beta-blockers or require additional heart rate control. This medicine works by selectively reducing the heart rate, allowing the heart to work more efficiently and receive adequate oxygen supply. Ivabid OD is generally taken once daily as prescribed by a doctor.

Uses

• Management of chronic stable angina

• Treatment of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

• Reduction of heart rate in specific cardiac conditions

Key Benefits

• Helps control heart rate without lowering blood pressure

• Improves exercise capacity in angina patients

• Reduces episodes of chest pain

• Supports better oxygen supply to the heart muscle

How to Use

• Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• Swallow whole with water, preferably at the same time each day.

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Do not change the dosage or stop suddenly without consulting your doctor.

How It Works

Ivabradine selectively inhibits the “funny” current (If) in the sinoatrial node, which reduces the heart rate. This decreases the heart’s oxygen demand and improves blood supply, thus relieving angina symptoms and supporting heart failure treatment.

Side Effects

• Slow heart rate (bradycardia)

• Dizziness

• Headache

• Fatigue

• Nausea
