It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker indicated to treat chronic heart failure, found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalisation related to heart failure.
Medicince introduction including background, function, caution, etc.
Indication It is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in adult patients with chronic heart failure. Benefits are most clearly evident in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below normal.
Side Effects low blood pressure (hypotension), high blood potassium (hyperkalemia), cough,dizziness
Mechanism Of Action
It contains a neprilysin inhibitor, sacubitril, and an angiotensin receptor blocker, valsartan. ENTRESTO inhibits neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase; NEP) via LBQ657, the active metabolite of the prodrug sacubitril, and blocks the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptor via valsartan
