Ivatab (7.5Mg) 14 Tablets

Description

Ivatab 7.5mg Tablets contain Ivabradine and are made by Nabiqasim Industries. 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.
