Full Prescribing Info
Action
Instead of taking carvedilol and ivabradine as separate tablets, the patient will receive one tablet of Carivalan which contains both ingredients at the same strength. Carivalan is a combination of two active ingredients, carvedilol and ivabradine. Carvedilol is a beta-blocker. Beta-blockers slow the heartbeat, lessen the force with which the heart muscle contracts and reduces the blood vessel contraction in the heart, brain and throughout the body. lvabradine works mainly by reducing the heart rate by a few beats per minute. This lowers the heart's need for oxygen especially in the situations when an angina attack is more likely to happen. In this way, carvedilol and ivabradine help to control and reduce the number of angina attacks.
