Vericiguat

Is the active ingredient.

Treatment of adults with symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after a recent worsening of heart failure (HF) requiring hospitalization or treatment with intravenous (IV) therapy.

Verquvo 2.5mg Tab (Vericiguat) is a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator. It increases the levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to vasodilation, reduced cardiac preload and afterload, and improved cardiac function. This helps to reduce symptoms and improve the prognosis for patients with HFrEF.
