Arnicor 100 Tablet

Arnicor 100 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains sacubitril 100 mg plus valsartan 103 mg per tablet. It belongs to the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) class and is used for certain adults with heart failure to help reduce strain on the heart. Arnicor 100 Tablet is not a general blood-pressure pill for routine self-use; it is chosen when a clinician wants this specific mid-strength tablet as part of a heart-failure treatment plan.

How it works: In tablet form, Arnicor 100 Tablet releases sacubitril and valsartan after swallowing. Sacubitril helps the body keep natural substances that relax blood vessels and reduce fluid buildup, while valsartan blocks angiotensin II so blood vessels stay more relaxed and the heart works against less pressure.

Arnicor 100 Tablet is the as-labeled 100 mg strength, which sits between Arnicor 50 Tablet and Arnicor 200 Tablet. This strength may suit patients who have already tolerated a lower dose and need a step up, or who need a middle maintenance dose based on their blood pressure, kidney function, and symptom control. Because it is a stronger tablet than Arnicor 50 Tablet, doctors may choose it to balance benefit and tolerability.

Each Arnicor 100 Tablet provides sacubitril 100 mg plus valsartan 103 mg. It is usually taken twice daily, but your doctor decides the exact schedule based on your condition and how you respond. There is no fixed maximum dose for everyone from this product alone; the total daily dose is determined by the prescribed regimen, and this 100 mg strength is a step in the titration plan rather than a self-selected dose.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
