Description
Product Overview
Ivabrad OD Tablets are prescription cardiovascular medications used for the treatment of chronic heart failure, chronic stable angina pectoris, elevated resting heart rate, and certain cardiovascular conditions requiring long-term heart rate control. The “OD” (Once Daily) formulation is designed to provide sustained release of medication throughout the day, offering convenient once-daily dosing and consistent therapeutic effects.
Ivabrad OD helps improve heart efficiency by reducing the heart rate, thereby decreasing the heart’s oxygen demand and reducing strain on the cardiovascular system.
Available Variants
- Ivabrad OD 10 mg Tablet
- Ivabrad OD 15 mg Tablet
Both variants contain Ivabradine in an extended-release formulation and differ only in strength.
Active Ingredient
Ivabrad OD 10 mg
Ivabradine 10 mg (Extended Release)
Ivabrad OD 15 mg
Ivabradine 15 mg (Extended Release)
Ivabradine belongs to a class of medicines known as Heart Rate Lowering Agents (If Channel Inhibitors).
How It Works
Ivabradine selectively inhibits the If (“funny”) channels in the sinoatrial node, the heart’s natural pacemaker. This slows the heart rate without significantly affecting blood pressure or the force of heart contractions. By lowering the heart rate, Ivabrad OD helps improve cardiac efficiency, reduce oxygen demand, and support long-term cardiovascular health.
The extended-release formulation ensures a gradual release of medication over 24 hours for continuous symptom control.
