Description

Ivabradine 5mg is used to treat adults with chronic heart failure or stable angina who have a fast resting heart rate and are in normal sinus rhythm. It works by selectively slowing the heart rate without affecting blood pressure or the strength of heart contractions.

By reducing how hard the heart needs to work, Ivabradine can help improve exercise tolerance, reduce symptoms, and lower the risk of hospitalisation related to heart failure. It is usually prescribed when beta-blockers are not suitable or when additional heart rate control is required.

Ivabradine is taken orally and is only available with a valid prescription following a clinical assessment.

  • Have a very low resting heart rate

  • Have acute heart failure or unstable angina

Tell your prescriber if you have:

  • Existing heart rhythm problems
