Uses

Treatment of heart failure

Benefits

Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the body’s needs. This can lead to symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, and swelling in various parts of the body like the legs, ankles, and abdomen.
Arnicor 100 Tablet combines two active ingredients, sacubitril and valsartan, which work together to lower blood pressure and make it easier for the heart to pump blood. This dual action helps in managing heart failure and improving your energy levels.

Along with medication, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—such as eating a balanced diet and staying physically active—can enhance the benefits of this treatment.

Possible Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and may resolve as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if they persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor.

Common side effects include:

Low blood pressure (hypotension)

Increased potassium levels in the blood (hyperkalemia)

Cough

Dizziness

Impaired kidney function

To minimize dizziness caused by low blood pressure, it is advisable to get up slowly from sitting or lying down.

How It Works

The tablet contains sacubitril and valsartan, which are part of the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) class. These medicines work by relaxing blood vessels and helping the heart pump more efficiently. Additionally, they help your body get rid of excess fluid, further reducing the workload on your heart.
