Common adverse effects associated with ivabradine therapy include:

Bradycardia: Since ivabradine reduces heart rate, bradycardia (slow heart rate) is a common adverse effect. Patients may experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting.

Atrial Fibrillation: Ivabradine has been associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. Patients may experience palpitations, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort.

Visual Disturbances (Phosphenes): Some patients may experience visual disturbances, such as seeing flashes of light or shimmering lights, known as phosphenes. These effects are usually transient and occur due to ivabradine's inhibition of the If channels in the retina.

Hypertension: Ivabradine may lead to elevated blood pressure in some patients.

Other Less Common Adverse Effects: Other less common adverse effects of ivabradine include headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue.

It's essential for healthcare providers to monitor patients regularly for these adverse effects during ivabradine therapy and adjust treatment as necessary to minimize discomfort and optimize patient safety.
