How Sacu-V 50 Tablet Works:
Sacu-V 50 Tablet is a combination of Sacubitril and Valsartan, which belong to a class of drugs known as
Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitors (ARNI).
- Sacubitril inhibits neprilysin, an enzyme that breaks down natriuretic peptides, which help relax blood vessels and reduce fluid buildup.
- Valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, thus making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Together, these ingredients enhance heart function and reduce the symptoms of heart failure.
