Verquvo 5 mg Heart Failure Tablets. It assists chronic heart failure cases by improving the heart's ability to pump blood and relaxing the blood vessels. This reduces the workload on the heart, helping it maintain its function.
Verquvo Ingredients
Each Verquvo tablet contains 5 mg of the active ingredient Vericiguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator. It enhances cardiovascular functions by allowing blood vessels to relax and treating heart failure.

Verquvo is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic chronic heart failure in adult patients with reduced ejection fraction (weakness in the heart muscle) who are stabilised after a recent decompensation event requiring IV therapy.
