Can I take % intravenous infusion - carelide and Ivabradine together?

Why this happens

Both Ivabradine and Carelide (which contains lidocaine) work by slowing down the electrical signals in the heart. When used together, their effects add up, which can slow the heart rate much more than intended.

This combination should generally be avoided. If they must be used together, you require continuous heart monitoring (ECG) in a hospital setting. Tell your doctor immediately if you feel dizzy, weak, or like your heart is beating very slowly.
