Frequently asked questions FOR IVA Met
Ivabradine
Q. What type of drug is Ivabradine?
Ivabradine is a heart medicine. It belongs to a class of medicine known as hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel blockers. It works by slowing the heart rate. This helps the heart to pump more blood through the body each time it beats.
Q. Does Ivabradine lower blood pressure?
No, Ivabradine commonly causes an increase in blood pressure as a side effect. This change is temporary and does not affect the treatment with Ivabradine. However, it should not be given to patients with severely low blood pressure (blood pressure < 90/50 mmHg).
Q. Is Ivabradine a beta-blocker?
No, Ivabradine is not a beta-blocker. It lowers the heart rate by selectively blocking the sodium channel present in heart pacemaker cells responsible for the increase in the heart rate.
Metoprolol Tartrate
Q. What is the difference between Metoprolol Succinate and Metoprolol Tartrate?
Metoprolol Succinate is an extended-release form of Metoprolol. This means it is released into your body slowly and only needs to be taken once a day. Metoprolol Tartrate, on the other hand, is available as an immediate-release tablet. It doesn’t stay in your body as long as Metoprolol Succinate does. Hence, multiple doses in a day may be required.
Q. Is Metoprolol Tartrate effective?
Metoprolol Tartrate is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Metoprolol Tartrate too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. Which is better, Metoprolol Tartrate or Metoprolol Succinate?
Metoprolol Tartrate and Metoprolol Succinate are both effective depending on the condition being treated. Metoprolol Succinate is more effective for treating heart failure. Metoprolol Succinate may also be less likely to cause some side effects as compared to Metoprolol Tartrate.
