How It Works

Sacutan 100 Tablet contains two active ingredients: Sacubitril and Valsartan. Sacubitril increases natural peptides that relax blood vessels and help remove excess sodium from the body, reducing fluid buildup. Valsartan blocks the angiotensin II receptor, preventing blood vessel tightening and lowering blood pressure. Together, they reduce the heart’s workload and improve its efficiency.
