Hefcard 50 Tablet 14 is taken orally.

Hefcard 50 Tablet 14 contains two active components that work together in complementary ways:

• Sacubitril (24 mg): This component inhibits an enzyme called neprilysin in your body. Neprilysin is responsible for breaking down certain beneficial peptides that promote blood vessel dilation. By blocking neprilysin, sacubitril increases the levels of these peptides, leading to vasodilation and improved kidney function.
• Valsartan (26 mg): Valsartan blocks a specific receptor in your body known as the angiotensin II receptor type-1 (AT1). By inhibiting this receptor, valsartan prevents the narrowing of blood vessels and the secretion of a hormone called aldosterone, reducing sodium and water retention in your body.

• Keep your Hefcard 50 Tablet 14 in its original packaging to protect it from moisture.
• Store it at room temperature below 30°C.
• Ensure it is kept out of the reach and sight of children.
• It's crucial to use this medicine before the expiry date printed on the pack.

• Since Hefcard 50 Tablet 14 is used to manage heart failure, it's important that you limit your salt intake. This can help reduce fluid build-up and pressure on your heart.
• Regular light exercise, such as walking or cycling, may also help improve your cardiovascular health. However, do ensure you consult with your doctor about the right level of physical activity for you.
