Medicine Overview of Ivacard 5mg Tablet
Introduction
Ivacard 5 is a medicine used for treatment of angina (heart-related chest pain) and chronic (long-term) heart failure. It makes the heart work more efficiently by lowering the heart rate. This relieves chest pain and decreases the risk of hospitalization in heart failure patients. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for. Since the treatment for angina or heart failure is usually life-long, you should not stop using it without talking to your doctor. It should be taken with food at the same time each day. If you take too much in one go, your heart could...

Brief Description
Indication
Chronic stable angina, Heart Failure
Administration
Should be taken with food. Avoid excessive consumption of grapefruit juice.
Adult Dose
Oral Heart Failure Initial: 5 mg PO BID with meals (all see Dosage Modifications) After 2 weeks, assess patient and adjust dose to achieve a resting heart rate of 50-60 bpm (see dose adjustment section below) Thereafter, adjust dose prn based on resting heart rate and tolerability; not to exceed 7.5 mg BID Dose adjustment HR >60 bpm: Increase dose by 2.5 mg (given twice daily) up to a maximum dose of 7.5 mg BID HR 50-60 bpm: Maintain dose HR 75 yr Initiate treatment at 2.5 mg bid.

Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal impairment:
CrCl (ml/min) Dosage Recommendation
<15 Use w/ caution.
Contraindication
Pregnancy, lactation, resting heart rate <60 beats/min prior to treatment, cardiogenic shock, acute myocardial infarction, severe hypotension (<90/50 mmHg), severe hepatic insufficiency, sick sinus syndrome, sino-atrial block, heart failure patients with NYHA class III-IV, pacemaker dependent, unstable angina, 3rd degree AV-block, concurrent use with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Mode of Action
Ivabradine is a heart rate lowering agent that works through selective and specific inhibition of the cardiac pacemaker If current. If current controls the spontaneous diastolic depolarisation in the sinus node and regulate heart rate.
Precaution
Reduce dose if resting heart rate is persistently <50 beats/min or patient develops bradycardia symptoms during treatment; discontinue if heart rate <50 beats/min and symptoms persist. Not recommended in patient with AF or other cardiac arrhythmias that interfere with sinus node rhythm; monitor regularly for AF occurrence. Not recommended for concomitant use with heart rate reducing calcium channel blockers (e.g. diltiazem or verapamil), immediate use after a stroke or in patients with 2nd degree AV-block. Severe renal insufficiency, Moderate hepatic insufficiency. Stop treatment if visual field deteriorates unexpectedly. Patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
Side Effect
1-10%
Bradycardia (10%)
Hypertension or increased blood pressure (8.9%)
Atrial fibrillation (8.3%)
Luminous phenomena (phosphenes) or visual brightness (2.8%)
Interaction
Concomitant use with QT-prolonging drugs (e.g. quinidine, disopyramide, bepridil, sotalol, ibutilide, amiodarone, pimozide, ziprasidone, sertinole, mefloquine, halofantrine, pentamide, cisapride, erythromycin IV) is not recommended as QT prolongation may be enhanced by heart rate reduction. Concentrations may increase when used with CYP3A4 inhibitors. Use with verapamil or diltiazem (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors) is not recommended. If used with other moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. fluconazole), may consider starting at lower dose and with heart rate monitoring if resting heart rate >60 beats/min. Concentration may be reduced with CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, barbiturates, phenytoin, St John's Wort) and may require Ivabradine dose adjustment. Potentially...
