Coralan 7.5mg Tablets – Heart Rate & Cardiovascular Support

Description:

Coralan (7.5mg) contains Ivabradine, a medication used to manage heart-related conditions by lowering heart rate without affecting blood pressure. It is commonly prescribed for patients with chronic heart failure or stable angina to improve exercise tolerance, reduce symptoms, and prevent hospitalization. By selectively acting on the heart's pacemaker, Coralan helps the heart beat more efficiently and reduces the workload on the heart.
