Corlanor
/
Corlanor is a heart rate-lowering medication classified as an If channel inhibitor, used to treat chronic heart failure in patients with a reduced ejection fraction. It is administered as an oral tablet and is available by prescription only. Patients are advised to avoid use in conjunction with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, as this may increase the risk of adverse effects. Corlanor should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment or in those with a resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute prior to treatment.
