How It Works

Sacumada 50 Tablet contains two active components — Sacubitril and Valsartan. Sacubitril increases natural substances that relax blood vessels and promote sodium excretion, reducing stress on the heart. Valsartan blocks angiotensin II, preventing vessel tightening and lowering blood pressure. Together, they help the heart pump blood more effectively.
