Product Overview
Ivabid OD 10 Tablet is prescribed for managing angina (chest pain related to heart conditions) and chronic heart failure. It helps improve heart function by reducing the heart rate, which eases chest pain and lowers the risk of hospital admissions in heart failure patients.

The dosage varies based on the condition being treated. Since angina and heart failure generally require ongoing treatment, it is important not to discontinue this medication without consulting your healthcare provider. Take Ivabid OD 10 Tablet with food at the same time every day. Taking too much can cause an excessively slow heartbeat, leading to breathlessness or fatigue—if this occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

Common Side Effects
Possible side effects include temporary visual disturbances such as flashes of light, slow heart rate, increased blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, dizziness, blurred vision, and changes in ECG readings. Some side effects like fainting or irregular heartbeat can be serious and require urgent medical care. Avoid driving until you understand how this medicine affects you.

Who Should Avoid Ivabid OD 10 Tablet?
Do not use this medication if you have severe liver disease, a low resting heart rate, certain heart rhythm disorders, very low blood pressure, or recently worsened heart failure. It may also interact with medications used for high blood pressure, fungal infections, and HIV. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those planning pregnancy, should not take this medicine without medical advice.

Uses

Angina (heart-related chest pain)
Heart failure

Benefits
Ivabid OD 10 Tablet helps control angina by slowing the heart rate, which decreases the heart’s oxygen needs and improves blood supply to the heart muscle. This results in fewer chest pain episodes, better tolerance to physical activity, and overall improved comfort. By reducing the heart’s workload, it also helps prevent heart attacks and supports long-term heart health, enabling a more active lifestyle.

How to Take It
Follow your doctor’s instructions or the label directions carefully. Swallow the tablet whole with food and do not crush or chew it.

Mechanism of Action
Ivabid OD 10 works by inhibiting a specific electrical current in the heart’s pacemaker, slowing the heartbeat. This reduces the heart’s workload and enhances the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body. It is commonly prescribed for conditions involving a fast heart rate, such as angina and certain types of heart failure.
