Lancora (Ivabradine)

Lancora Information:

Lancora (Ivabradine) is used in adults with chronic heart failure, to help lower the frequency of hospitalization from worsening symptoms. Lancora is also used in children over the age of 6 months old who have stable heart failure caused by an enlarged heart. Lancora is not for use if you already have heart failure symptoms that recently got worse before starting this medication. Lancora is a hyperpolarization-activated cyclic-nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel blocker, which basically means that it targets your heart’s electrical activity in order to slow the heart rate and lessen the strain and workload on your heart. Heart failure signs and symptoms may include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in your lower extremities, irregular heartbeat, rapid weight gain, persistent cough or wheezing with white or pink phlegm, and chest pain.
