Savesto Tablet 24 mg + 26 mg contains a combination of Sacubitril and Valsartan, used for the management of chronic heart failure. It is designed to improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and lower the risk of hospitalization and cardiovascular death in patients with reduced ejection fraction heart failure (HFrEF).

Mechanism of Action
Savesto works through a dual mechanism:
