Verquv Tablet 10 mg contains Vericiguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator specifically developed for the management of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This medication is prescribed for patients who continue to experience symptoms despite optimal standard therapy, including ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.
Vericiguat enhances the nitric oxide–sGC–cGMP pathway, leading to vasodilation, improved cardiac function, and reduced cardiac stress, ultimately lowering the risk of hospitalization and cardiovascular death. Its once-daily oral dosing ensures convenience and adherence for long-term management.

Indications
Verquv Tablet 10 mg is indicated for:
-
Chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
-
Patients with persistent symptoms despite optimized heart failure therapy
-
Reducing the risk of heart failure-related hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality
Mechanism of Action
Vericiguat works as a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator:
-
Stimulates sGC, enhancing the nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway
-
Increases levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)
-
Promotes vasodilation, reducing cardiac preload and afterload
-
Improves left ventricular function and reduces adverse cardiac remodeling
-
Complements other heart failure therapies to slow disease progression and improve outcomes
By targeting the NO–sGC–cGMP pathway, Vericiguat helps maintain cardiac efficiency and symptom control in chronic heart failure.
