How It Works

Sacu-V 50 Tablet combines two medicines, sacubitril and valsartan. Sacubitril increases the levels of natural substances that help widen blood vessels and remove excess salt from the body. Valsartan relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure by blocking the action of angiotensin II. Together, they make it easier for the heart to pump blood efficiently.
