Understanding Ivabradine: Your Heart's Natural Brake
Ivabradine is a modern heart rate lowering medication that has been helping Filipinos with chronic stable angina (chest pain) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Unlike traditional beta-blockers, Ivabradine works through a unique mechanism—selectively slowing your heart rate without affecting blood pressure or contraction strength. This FDA-approved medication is available in the Philippines under the brand name Coralan and other generic alternatives.
How Ivabradine Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your heart has an internal "pacemaker" called the sinus node that sets your heartbeat speed. Ivabradine acts like a gentle brake on this pacemaker—it blocks specific channels (called "funny channels" or If channels) in your heart's electrical system. This helps your heart beat slower and more efficiently, which means:
- Less oxygen demand by your heart (reducing chest pain)
- More time for your heart to fill with blood between beats
- Improved symptoms in heart failure patients
- Better exercise tolerance and quality of life

Safety & Side Effects: What to Watch For ⚠︎
Most patients tolerate Ivabradine well, but be a smart medicine user:
- Common: Visual disturbances (flashes of light called "phosphenes"), slow heartbeat, dizziness, headache—these are usually mild and temporary
- Visual Effects: About 15% of patients see brief flashes of light, especially in low-light conditions. This is harmless and usually goes away after stopping the medicine

- Drug Interactions: Avoid grapefruit juice and certain antibiotics (clarithromycin, erythromycin) and antifungals (ketoconazole) while taking Ivabradine
Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog
Ivabradine: Ang Natural na Preno ng Iyong Puso
Ang Ivabradine ay isang modernong gamot na heart rate lowering na tumutulong sa mga Pilipino na may chronic stable angina (pananakit ng dibdib) at heart failure. Hindi tulad ng ibang gamot sa puso, ang Ivabradine ay gumagana sa pamamagitan ng pagbagal sa tibok ng puso nang hindi binabawasan ang blood pressure. Ito ay FDA-approved at available sa Pilipinas sa ilalim ng brand name na Coralan.
Paano Gumagana ang Ivabradine?
Isipin na ang puso mo ay may internal "pacemaker" na tinatawag na sinus node. Ang Ivabradine ay parang gentle brake sa pacemaker na ito—pinapabagal nito ang tibok ng puso. Resulta:
- Mas kaunting oxygen demand ng puso (nababawasan ang pananakit ng dibdib)
- Mas maraming oras para mapuno ng dugo ang puso sa pagitan ng tibok
- Improved symptoms sa mga pasyente ng heart failure
- Mas magandang exercise tolerance
Available na Strengths at Dosage
- 5mg at 7.5mg film-coated tablets (Coralan at generics)
- Starting dose: 5mg dalawang beses sa isang araw kasama ng pagkain
- Target heart rate: 50-60 beats per minute
