Coralan 5 mg Tablet

Coralan 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 5 mg of ivabradine in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-anginal medicine class and is used to help reduce angina symptoms in people with stable chest pain when a doctor decides it is appropriate. Coralan 5 mg Tablet works by slowing the heart rate, which can lower the heart’s oxygen demand and make exertion feel easier. It is taken as a tablet by mouth and should be used exactly as prescribed.

How it works: Ivabradine in Coralan 5 mg Tablet lowers the heart rate by acting on the sinus node, the heart’s natural pacemaker. By slowing the heartbeat without directly changing how strongly the heart squeezes, this tablet can reduce the heart’s workload and help improve angina symptoms.

Coralan 5 mg Tablet is the 5 mg strength, which is commonly used when a doctor wants a moderate ivabradine dose rather than a lower starting amount or a higher maintenance amount. Because it is a tablet, it is convenient for regular daily use and can be adjusted by the prescriber based on heart rate, symptoms, and tolerance. This strength is not meant for self-titration; it fits into a doctor-guided dosing plan for angina control.

• Stable angina pectoris
• Symptom relief in chronic chest pain due to angina
• Heart-rate lowering when prescribed by a clinician for angina management

• Swallow the Coralan 5 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it at the same times each day to keep levels steady.
• Take it with food as directed by your doctor; follow the prescription label closely.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically tells you to.
• If you miss a dose, do not double the next dose; follow your prescriber’s instructions.
• Do not use this tablet more often or in a higher amount than prescribed.

Each Coralan 5 mg Tablet provides 5 mg of ivabradine. The doctor decides how often it is taken, and the dose may be adjusted based on resting heart rate, symptoms, and overall response; in many patients it is taken twice daily, but the exact schedule must come from the prescriber. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount set by your doctor, because ivabradine dosing is individualized and depends on heart rate safety.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Coralan 5 mg Tablet can cause your heart rate to slow too much, so pulse checks may be needed.
• Tell your doctor if you already have a slow heartbeat, heart conduction problems, or other heart disease.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery because dizziness or visual brightness changes can occur.
• Do not combine it with medicines that strongly affect heart rate unless your prescriber approves it.
• Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice unless your doctor says it is safe, because it can raise ivabradine levels.
• Tell your doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding, liver problems, or any history of abnormal heart rhythm.
• If chest pain becomes worse or changes in pattern, seek medical care promptly.
