Ivabradine is a heart medication used primarily to treat certain types of chronic heart failure and to manage symptoms of angina pectoris in people who cannot take beta blockers. It works by reducing the heart rate through specific inhibition of the pacemaker If current in the sinoatrial node, which controls heart rate. This action helps decrease the heart's work and the need for oxygen, especially in situations where an excessive heart rate exacerbates these conditions.

How is this medication used?

Ivabradine should be taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The dosage is individualized based on patient needs and response to treatment. It is usually taken twice daily with meals. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablets; swallow them whole. Regular follow-up visits with your healthcare provider are important to adjust the dose as needed and to monitor for effectiveness and side effects.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of ivabradine include but are not limited to brightness in vision or increased brightness in visual field (phosphenes), slow heart rate (bradycardia), high blood pressure, and dizziness. Less common side effects may include visual disturbances, fatigue, atrial fibrillation, and nausea. Severe side effects should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.

What are the potential interactions?

Ivabradine can interact with a wide range of medications, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of adverse effects. These include certain cardiovascular medications such as beta blockers, medications that modify the heart rhythm, St. John's Wort, certain antifungal medications (e.g., ketoconazole), antibiotics like erythromycin, and drugs that inhibit or induce cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid possible interactions.
