Vericiguat, sold under the brand name Verquvo, is a medication used in heart failure after a recent worsening to reduce the risk of heart related death and hospitalization.[3][5] It is only used in those with an ejection fraction less than 45%.[3] It is taken by mouth.[5]

Common side effects include low blood pressure and low red blood cells.[4][5] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[4] It is a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator, and should not be used with other medications in this class.[3][5]

Vericiguat was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2021.[4][5] In the United States it costs about 615 USD per month as of 2022.[6] This amount in the United Kingdom costs the NHS about £100.[7]
