IVAZINE 5 Tablet 10 contains the following component:

• Ivabradine (5 mg): It is a hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel blocker that helps control your heart rate. Your heart has a natural pacemaker called the SA node. Ivabradine sends signals to make your heart beat regularly. It works by slowing down these signals. Slowing down these signals is helpful because it can lower your heart rate. This is important if your heart beats too fast, especially when it's not supposed to.
