How Nevostril 100 Tablet Works

Nevostril 100 Tablet contains Sacubitril and Valsartan. Sacubitril is a neprilysin inhibitor that increases levels of natriuretic peptides, leading to vasodilation and reduced fluid overload. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents blood vessels from narrowing, lowering blood pressure and easing the heart's workload. Together, they enhance heart function and prevent heart failure symptoms.
