Ivamac 5Mg 1*10Tab

Ivamac 5 Tablet is a medication used to manage angina (chest pain related to the heart) and chronic heart failure. It helps the heart work more efficiently by lowering the heart rate, which can relieve chest pain and reduce the risk of hospitalization in patients with heart failure.

The dosage depends on the condition being treated. Treatment for angina or heart failure is usually long-term, so do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor. It should be taken with food at the same time each day. Taking too much at once may slow your heart excessively, causing fatigue or shortness of breath. Seek medical attention if this occurs.

Common Side Effects
Some side effects are mild and may go away as your body adjusts, including:

Slow heart rate

Visual brightness or flashes

Dizziness

Blurred vision

Irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)
