What is Ivabradine?

Ivabradine, the active ingredient in Ivabranio, is a If channel inhibitor presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is employed to lower heart rate in patients with chronic stable angina and in those with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

GNH USA supplies Ivabranio as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides reliable sourcing for global healthcare providers. Our distribution network ensures timely delivery and regulatory compliance across multiple regions.

What is Ivabradine used for?

Ivabradine acts on the cardiac sinus node to control heart rate, making it useful in several cardiovascular conditions.

Chronic stable angina: reduces the frequency of angina attacks by lowering heart rate. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF): improves symptoms and decreases hospitalizations by optimizing heart rate. Stable angina during exercise: alleviates exercise‑induced chest pain through rate control.

What are the side effects of Ivabradine?

Ivabradine may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, which are classified by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Visual disturbances (phosphenes): transient luminous phenomena. - Bradycardia: heart rate below 50 bpm. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe bradycardia: symptomatic slowing requiring medical intervention. - Atrial fibrillation: new‑onset irregular rhythm. - Symptomatic heart block: conduction abnormalities.

What precautions apply to Ivabradine?

When prescribing Ivabradine, several safety considerations should be observed. - Heart rate monitoring: assess baseline and periodic heart rate before and during therapy. - Concomitant beta‑blockers: avoid combined excessive bradycardia. - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: dose adjustment or avoidance required. - Severe hepatic impairment: contraindicated. - Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; use only if benefit outweighs risk. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

What does Ivabradine interact with?

Ivabradine can interact with other medicines, necessitating careful review of a patient’s regimen.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin): increase ivabradine plasma levels. - Calcium‑channel blockers diltiazem or verapamil: additive bradycardic effect. - Other heart‑rate‑lowering agents (beta‑blockers, digoxin): risk of severe bradycardia.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin): reduce ivabradine efficacy. - Antihypertensives: may enhance hypotensive effect. - QT‑prolonging drugs: monitor ECG for arrhythmia risk.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ivabranio used for?+
Ivabranio contains ivabradine, which is indicated for the management of chronic stable angina and for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. In both conditions the drug lowers heart rate, helping to relieve chest pain during exertion and to improve functional capacity in heart‑failure patients.
How does ivabradine work?+
Ivabradine selectively inhibits the funny (If) current in the sino‑atrial node. By blocking this inward sodium‑potassium current, the spontaneous depolarisation that sets the heart’s rhythm slows down, producing a controlled reduction in heart rate without depressing myocardial contractility.
What is the usual dose of Ivabranio?+
The dose of Ivabranio is individualized by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s heart‑rate, clinical condition and tolerability. The prescriber determines the appropriate strength, frequency and any necessary titration steps, following local labeling and therapeutic guidelines.
Is Ivabranio safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for ivabradine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The product is classified as having an unknown pregnancy category, and it should only be used when the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Consultation with a specialist is recommended.
How do I order Ivabranio from GNH USA?+
To request Ivabranio, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and the necessary import documentation.
How does Ivabranio compare with the main alternative drug or class?+
The primary alternative to ivabradine for heart‑rate control is the beta‑blocker class. Unlike beta‑blockers, ivabradine reduces heart rate without affecting blood pressure or myocardial contractility, making it useful when beta‑blockers are contraindicated or not tolerated. However, beta‑blockers also provide anti‑arrhythmic and anti‑ischemic benefits that ivabradine does not.
How should Ivabranio be stored and handled?+
Ivabranio tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original blister pack or container. Protect the product from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain its stability throughout its shelf life.
How is Ivabranio given or administered?+
Ivabranio is administered orally as a tablet. Patients should swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, preferably at the same times each day. It is usually taken with or without food, as directed by the prescribing clinician.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while taking Ivabranio?+
The most serious adverse events include severe bradycardia (heart rate <50 bpm with symptoms), new‑onset atrial fibrillation and symptomatic heart block. Patients should be educated to report dizziness, fainting, palpitations or visual changes promptly, as these may signal serious cardiac complications.
Who should not use Ivabranio?+
Ivabranio is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, resting heart rate below 60 bpm, sick sinus syndrome, second‑ or third‑degree atrioventricular block, or those taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors without dose adjustment. It should also be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ivabradine.
