Description

Sacubitril, one of the active ingredients, acts as a neprilysin inhibitor. Neprilysin is responsible for breaking down specific protein molecules in the kidneys, which play a protective role for both the kidneys and the heart.

The second active ingredient, valsartan, belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and is commonly used to manage high blood pressure when prescribed as a standalone medication. When combined with sacubitril, valsartan helps alleviate stress on the heart in cases of heart failure.
