Ivabratco Od Tablet 10 contains ivabradine (10 mg), which works on the heart in the following ways:

• I(f) Current Inhibition: Ivabradine selectively blocks the funny current I(f), an important electrical current and the heart's natural pacemaker. This action slows down the heart's rhythm in a controlled manner.

• Heart Rate Reduction: This medicine lowers the heart rate without affecting other cardiac parameters by inhibiting the funny current. This reduced heart rate helps decrease the heart's oxygen demand.

• Cardiac Efficiency: The medicine improves the efficiency of your heart by allowing more time for the heart chambers to fill with blood between beats, which is particularly beneficial in heart failure patients.

• Myocardial Oxygen Balance: By reducing heart rate, ivabradine helps create a better balance between oxygen supply and demand in the heart muscle. This is important for patients with angina whose hearts need more oxygen than they can receive.

• Heart-healthy diet: Follow a low-salt, low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains to support your cardiovascular health and help manage your heart condition.

• Regular, moderate exercise: Engage in gentle physical activities like walking as advised by your doctor to strengthen your heart, but avoid difficult exercise that might trigger angina symptoms.
