How Daxysac 49mg/51mg Tablet works

Daxysac combines Sacubitril, a neprilysin inhibitor, and Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Sacubitril increases the levels of natriuretic peptides, leading to vasodilation and decreased fluid retention. Valsartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II, which helps in lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart's workload. Together, they enhance heart function and slow disease progression.
