Sacuval 50 Tablet

Product Introduction

Sacuval 50 Tablet is prescribed for the management of chronic heart failure. It helps lower the chances of hospitalization and complications, including the risk of death, in people living with long-term heart failure. It is usually used alongside other medicines for heart conditions.

The tablet can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time each day for consistent results. The dosage and duration will be decided by your doctor depending on your condition and response to treatment. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medicine without medical advice, even if you start feeling better, as it helps prevent future heart-related problems.

Some people may experience side effects such as low blood pressure, high potassium levels, kidney function changes, dizziness, or cough. To minimize dizziness due to low blood pressure, rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. If side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Before starting this medicine, share your medical history with your doctor, particularly if you have liver or kidney problems, or if you are already on medication for blood pressure or heart disease. This medicine should not be used during pregnancy and is not recommended while breastfeeding. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function may be required during treatment.

Uses of Sacuval Tablet

• Management of chronic heart failure

Benefits of Sacuval Tablet

Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in different parts of the body. Sacuval 50 Tablet contains sacubitril and valsartan, which work together to relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and reduce strain on the heart. This improves blood flow, alleviates symptoms, and enhances quality of life. Regular use helps reduce hospital visits and long-term complications.

Possible Side Effects

• Low blood pressure (hypotension)

• Raised potassium levels (hyperkalemia)

• Kidney function impairment

• Dizziness

• Cough

How to Use

Take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow whole with water, without chewing or crushing. It may be taken with or without meals, but try to take it at the same time each day.

How It Works

Sacuval 50 Tablet combines sacubitril and valsartan, which belong to the class of angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI). Together, they relax and widen blood vessels, lower fluid retention, and make it easier for the heart to pump blood effectively, thereby improving symptoms of heart failure.
