How It Works
Valentas 50 Tablet is a combination of Sacubitril and Valsartan, which work together to treat heart failure. Sacubitril is a neprilysin inhibitor that helps reduce fluid buildup and relaxes blood vessels. Valsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), helps lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This combination not only improves heart function but also reduces the strain on the heart, improving symptoms and overall quality of life for those with heart failure.
