About Coralan Tablets 5mg
Coralan Tablets 5mg contain Ivabradine — a selective inhibitor of the cardiac pacemaker If current (HCN channel blocker) in the sinoatrial node. It reduces heart rate by slowing spontaneous diastolic depolarisation without affecting blood pressure, myocardial contractility, or ventricular repolarisation. This highly specific mechanism makes Coralan an excellent option for patients with chronic stable angina who require heart rate reduction to relieve chest pain and improve exercise tolerance.
Coralan is a prescription-only (Rx) medicine. It is contraindicated in patients with resting heart rate below 60 bpm, severe hepatic impairment, and those who are pacemaker-dependent. Important drug interactions: avoid grapefruit, diltiazem, and verapamil (CYP3A4 inhibitors). Always use under the supervision of a cardiologist.
Key Benefits
- Reduces heart rate selectively via sinus node If current inhibition
- Manages chronic stable angina and improves exercise tolerance
- No effect on blood pressure or myocardial contractility
- Does not alter cardiac conduction times (AV, intra-atrial, intraventricular)
- Reduces cardiac workload and chest pain episodes
- Suitable for patients intolerant of beta-blockers
How to Use
- Take Coralan 5mg as prescribed by your cardiologist — do not self-medicate.
- Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew.
- Take twice daily with morning and evening meals for optimal absorption.
- Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Coralan 5mg used for?
A: Coralan (Ivabradine) is a prescription cardiac medicine used to reduce heart rate and manage stable angina in patients with chronic heart conditions.
Q: Does Coralan lower blood pressure?
A: No. Ivabradine selectively reduces heart rate through sinus node inhibition only — it has no direct effect on blood pressure, making it suitable for patients where blood pressure reduction is not needed.
Q: Who should not take Coralan 5mg?
A: Coralan is contraindicated in patients with resting heart rate below 60 bpm, severe liver disease, and those dependent on a cardiac pacemaker. Consult your cardiologist before starting.
