About Sacubitril

Sacubitril is an anti-hypertensive drug used in combination with Valsartan as a treatment and prevention drug for chronic heart failure and other heart conditions. It works by inhibiting a prodrug neprilysin which reduces the strain on the failing heart.

Some common side effects that it can cause include low blood pressure, swelling in ankles and feet, feeling short of breath, fainting, dizziness, high blood potassium levels, muscle weakness, painful urination, little or no urination, tingly feeling, slow heart rate, weak pulse, cough and renal impairment.

You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to it or if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any blood pressure medication. If you have diabetes or a kidney disease, do not take this medication together with any medication that contains aliskiren. Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, diabetes or if you are on a low-salt-diet, dehydrated, pregnant or breastfeeding.

The usual initial dose for heart problems in adults is 49 mg of Sacubitril taken with 51 mg Valsartan, by mouth, twice a day. Adjustment of dose will be done by the doctor depending on your response to treatment.
