Daxybrad 10 Mg Er Tablet

DAXYBRAD 10 MG ER Tablet contains Ivabradine 10 mg, a heart rate-lowering agent used primarily in the treatment of chronic heart failure and stable angina. It works by selectively inhibiting the If current in the sinoatrial node (the heart’s natural pacemaker), thus reducing heart rate without affecting blood pressure or contractility. This extended-release (ER) formulation ensures a sustained effect over time for better symptom control.

Uses:

• Chronic heart failure (with reduced ejection fraction, HFrEF)

• Stable angina pectoris (especially in patients intolerant to beta-blockers)

• Adjunct therapy to improve exercise tolerance and reduce symptoms in heart conditions

Benefits:

• Lowers heart rate without lowering blood pressure

• Reduces the risk of hospitalization due to heart failure

• Improves exercise capacity and quality of life

• Useful alternative for patients who cannot tolerate beta-blockers

• Extended-release formulation offers once-daily convenience with consistent control

Side Effects:

Some possible side effects include:

• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)

• Visual disturbances (e.g., bright flashes or luminous phenomena)

• Dizziness or fatigue

• Headache

• Irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) – in rare cases

Precautions:

• Regular monitoring of heart rate is essential.

• Not recommended in patients with resting heart rate <70 bpm or acute decompensated heart failure.

• Use with caution in patients with liver impairment or conduction abnormalities.

• Avoid grapefruit juice, which may increase Ivabradine levels.
