Sacubitril / Valsartan
Generic alternative to Entresto
Sacubitril/valsartan, sold under the brand name Entresto, is a medication used to treat heart failure. It is a combination of a neprilysin inhibitor (sacubitril) and an angiotensin receptor blocker (valsartan), working together to reduce strain on the heart by both dilating blood vessels and reducing fluid buildup.
How is this medication used?
Sacubitril/valsartan is typically taken by mouth in tablet form, usually twice daily, with or without food. It is important to follow your doctor's prescription and not to adjust the dosage without consulting them first. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is recommended while on this medication.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of sacubitril/valsartan include dizziness, lightheadedness, or tiredness due to the lowering of blood pressure. Other possible side effects can include elevated potassium levels, kidney problems, and cough. Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat can indicate a serious allergic reaction, and immediate medical attention is necessary.
What are the potential interactions?
Sacubitril/valsartan can interact with other medications such as other blood pressure lowering drugs, potassium supplements, and NSAIDs. It is also important to avoid taking it with ACE inhibitors due to the risk of angioedema. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to prevent potential interactions.
