How Azmarda Tablet Works
Azmarda 100mg Tablet combines Sacubitril and Valsartan, which work together to treat heart failure:
- Sacubitril inhibits neprilysin, an enzyme that degrades beneficial substances in the body, allowing these substances to help relax blood vessels and reduce fluid retention.
- Valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and reduce strain on the heart. Together, these ingredients improve heart function, alleviate symptoms, and reduce the progression of heart failure.
