Therapeutic Effects of Verquvo 10MG Tablet
Verquvo 10MG tablets are soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators, a key enzyme in the nitric oxide signaling pathway. In heart failure, the production of nitric oxide is often impaired, and the activity of this enzyme is reduced, contributing to heart and blood vessel dysfunction. Verquvo helps by relaxing the blood vessels, particularly in the lungs, allowing blood to flow more easily.
