Has anyone else experienced weight gain whilst using Ivabradine?
I have gained 15% body weight since being on the drug in the last 11 months. I have spoken to my cardiologist who has said it cant be the drug as it doesn't have weight gain listed as one of its side effects. I have taken every possible endocrine test to prove that it is not hormone related, I have seen a dietician who couldn't in any way improve my diet. I exercise for an hour each day in a gym on pure cv and half an hour weight and tone training. I cycle 4 miles a day to and from work. There is no reason for me to be putting on this weight which only started happening when i went onto this tablet. I have tried a standard beta blocker to no effect and this is about to ruin my military career. Any help or similar experiences would be greatfully received.
