Vericiguat should be used under the guidance of a cardiologist or other specialist. It should not be self-administered.
The dosage of vericiguat should be adjusted according to the doctor's prescription. Typically, treatment begins with a low dose, which is gradually increased to a maintenance dose based on the patient's tolerance and response.
Vericiguat may cause a drop in blood pressure, so regular monitoring is necessary to avoid hypotension.
Since vericiguat is primarily excreted through the kidneys, kidney function should be monitored during treatment, especially in patients with renal impairment.
Vericiguat may cause side effects such as dizziness, hypotension, headache, nausea, and diarrhea. Any such symptoms should be reported to a doctor promptly.
Vericiguat should not be stopped abruptly unless directed by a doctor, as this could worsen heart failure symptoms.
