Hi,
I was all excited about trying out Ivabradine since my beta-blocker makes me very tired and increases the blood pooling in my legs , so I started it and on the 2nd day I started getting headaches. I had experienced this kind of headache before since it has a different feel to it that differs from the usual cluster headaches. This kind of headache I only get when I eat Lactose. So I got curious and checked the inactive ingredients and sure enough there is Lactose in it! https://www.rxlist.com/corlanor-drug.htm
Ughhh… how can they do this to me?! I mean seriously, who uses Lactose as an ingredient with all these sensitivities going around??
In fact, to test for SIBO (Small Intestine Bacteria Over-growth) which is a form of IBS , they use a breath test and a "Lactose" solution to find out if someone has SIBO.. that's how bad Lactose is...they first make you drink the lactose solution and then measure your breath for the next 3 hours for certain gases that bacteria in the gut makes when exposed to lactose to determine if one has SIBO! I can't believe the makers of Ivabradine would make such a wonderful drug and use Lactose as an inactive ingredient in it... Another ingredient they used is maltodextrin which many people are allergic to and gives skin rashes.
Sorry for the venting, but I really thought I had found my cure... The beta-blocker I am on now (Atenolol) really makes me tired and that's the 2nd beta blocker I am trying with the same issue and I use to have a lot more energy... So I was really looking forward to Ivabradine since it does not effect the ephrin/ norepinephrine channel....
Anyways, has anyone else come across this issue?
Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
