Uses

Used in selected patients with chronic heart failure and elevated heart rate despite standard therapy. May also help reduce heart rate and improve cardiovascular symptoms.

Do not use if

Contraindicated in severe bradycardia, acute decompensated heart failure, severe hypotension, and hypersensitivity to the components.

Side effects

May cause bradycardia, dizziness, fatigue, hypotension, and visual brightness phenomena.

Warnings

Monitor heart rate and blood pressure regularly. Avoid abrupt discontinuation unless medically advised.

How it works

Carvedilol blocks beta and alpha receptors, while ivabradine selectively lowers heart rate through sinus node inhibition.

Storage

Store at room temperature away from moisture.
