Description

Sivab 5mg Tablets contain Ivabradine and are made by Getz Pharma. Ivabradine slows the heart rate by acting on the heart’s natural pacemaker. A slower heart rate lowers the heart’s oxygen demand and helps a weakened heart pump more efficiently. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
