Ivanode 5Mg 1*10Tab

Ivanode 5 Tablet is a prescription medicine mainly used to manage angina (chest pain due to heart issues) and long-term heart failure. It helps the heart work more efficiently by lowering the heart rate, thereby reducing oxygen demand and improving blood circulation. This action helps in relieving chest pain and lowers the chances of hospitalization due to heart failure.

The dosage and duration depend on your medical condition and doctor’s advice. Since these conditions usually require long-term treatment, you should not stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor. It is recommended to take the tablet with food at the same time every day. Taking an overdose may cause your heart rate to slow down excessively, leading to tiredness or shortness of breath — in such cases, seek medical help immediately.

Common Side Effects
Some people may experience side effects such as increased brightness in vision, slow heartbeat, dizziness, blurred vision, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation), or changes in ECG results. Most of these are temporary and improve with time. However, if you feel faint, extremely dizzy, or notice major heartbeat irregularities, seek medical attention right away. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how this medicine affects you.

When Not to Use
Ivanode 5 Tablet should not be used by patients with severe liver problems, very low heart rate, or irregular heart rhythms. It is also unsuitable for those with low blood pressure or worsening heart failure. Avoid using it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking — especially those for blood pressure, fungal infections, or HIV — as they may interact with Ivanode.

How to Take Ivanode Tablet
Take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not chew or crush it. Always take it with food for better absorption and effect.

How It Works
Ivanode 5 Tablet works by blocking a specific current in the heart’s natural pacemaker, which controls the heartbeat. This helps slow the heart rate, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently and with less strain. As a result, it reduces the frequency of chest pain and improves heart performance in conditions like heart failure.
