INDICATIONS & USES Symptomatic treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris in coronary artery disease patients with normal sinus rhythm.Ivanor TM is indicated: In patients unable to tolerate or with a contra-indication to the use of beta-blockers, or In combination with beta-blockers in patients inadequately controlled with an optimal beta-blocker dose and whose heart rate is > 60 bpm. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The usual recommended starting dose of Ivabradine is 5 mg twice daily which may be increased after 3-4 weeks of treatment to 7.5 mg twice daily, depending on therapeutic response. Usual dose is 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening during meals. If the heart rate decreases persistently below 50 bpm at rest or if symptoms related to bradycardia, the dose must be adjusted downwards to 2.5mg twice daily (one half of the 5 mg tablet twice daily). Treatment must be discontinued if heart rate remains below 50 bpm or symptoms of bradycardia persist. Elderly: Consider a lower starting dose (2.5 mg twice daily i.e. one half 5 mg tablet twice daily). Renal insufficiency: Use with caution in patients with creatinine clearance <15 ml/min. Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with moderate hepatic impairment; contra-indicated in severe hepatic impairment. Children and adolescents: Not recommended. CONTRAINDICATIONS History of hypersensitivity to Ivabradine or any of the excipients, resting heart rate below 60 bpm before treatment, cardiogenic shock, acute myocardial infarction,severe hypotension (< 90/50 mmHg), severe hepatic insufficiency, sick sinus syndrome, sinoatrial block, heart failure, pacemaker dependent, unstable angina, 3rd degree AV block, combination with strong cytochrome P-450 3A4 inhibitors (such as azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics,HIV protease inhibitors). PRECAUTION Mild to moderate hypotension, atrial fibrillation, patients with congenital QT syndrome or treated with QT wave prolonging medicinal products, Moderate hepatic insufficiency,severe renal insufficiency. DRUG INTERACTION QT wave prolonging medicinal products is not recommended.

The concomitant use of cardiovascular and non cardiovascular QT wave prolonging medicinal products with ivabradine should be avoided since QT wave prolongation may be exacerbated by heart rate reduction. If the combination appears necessary, close cardiac monitoring is needed. SIDE EFFECT Visual symptoms, blurred vision, bradycardia, 1st degree AV block, ventricular extrasystoles, headaches, and dizziness. USE IN FERTILITY,PREGNANCY AND LACTATION Fertility: Studies in rats have shown no effect on fertility in males and females Pregnancy: There are no or limited amount of data from the use of ivabradine in pregnant women.Therefore, ivabradine is contra-indicated during pregnancy.
