Clinical notes
Applications:
- Cardiovascular disease
Indication Notes:
Vericiguat is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization following a hospitalization for heart failure or need for outpatient IV diuretics, in adults with symptomatic chronic HF and ejection fraction less than 45%.
Avoid In:
N/A
Contraindication Notes:
Vericiguat is contraindicated in patients with concomitant use of another soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator. Vericiguat is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Vericiguat is a stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), an important enzyme in the nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway. When NO binds to sGC, the enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a second messenger that plays a role in the regulation of vascular tone, and cardiac contractility, and cardiac remodeling. Heart failure is associated with impaired synthesis of NO and decreased activity of sGC, which may contribute to myocardial and vascular dysfunction. By directly stimulating sGC, independently of and synergistically with NO, vericiguat augments levels of intracellular cGMP, leading to smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation.
Other Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Stimulators: Vericiguat is contraindicated in patients with concomitant use of another soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator.PDE-5 Inhibitors: Concomitant use of Vericiguat with PDE-5 inhibitors is not recommended because of the potential for hypotension.
Based on data from animal reproduction studies, Vericiguat may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman and is contraindicated during pregnancy. There are no data on the presence of vericiguat in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Vericiguat is present in the milk of lactating rats and it is likely that vericiguat or its metabolites are present in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from Vericiguat, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with Vericiguat.
Based on data from animal reproduction studies, Vericiguat may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Obtain a pregnancy test before the start of treatment. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Vericiguat and for at least one month after the final dose.
