sacubitril 97 MG / valsartan 103 MG Oral Tablet

What it is used for

ENTRESTO is a combination of sacubitril, a neprilisin inhibitor, and valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, and 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. for the treatment of symptomatic heart failure with systemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction in pediatric patients aged one year and older. ENTRESTO reduces NT-proBNP and is expected to improve cardiovascular outcomes.

Failure ENTRESTO 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. LVEF is a variable measure, so use clinical judgment in deciding whom to treat.

Description

ENTRESTO (sacubitril and valsartan) is a combination of a neprilysin inhibitor and an angiotensin II receptor blocker. ENTRESTO contains a complex comprised of anionic forms of sacubitril and valsartan, sodium cations, and water molecules in the molar ratio of 1:1:3:2.5, respectively. Following oral administration, the complex dissociates into sacubitril (which is further metabolized to LBQ657) and valsartan. The complex is chemically described as Octadecasodiumhexakis(4-{[(1 S,3 R )-1-([1,1´-biphenyl]-4-ylmethyl)-4-ethoxy-3-methyl-4-oxobutyl]amino}-4-oxobutanoate)hexakis( N -pentanoyl- N -{[2´-(1 H -tetrazol-1-id-5-yl)[1,1´-biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl}-L-valinate)—water (1/15). Its empirical formula (hemipentahydrate) is C 48 H 55 N 6 O 8 Na 3 2.5 H 2 O. Its molecular mass is 957.99 g/mol and its schematic structural formula is: ENTRESTO is available as film-coated tablets for oral administration, containing 24 mg of sacubitril and 26 mg of valsartan; 49 mg of sacubitril and 51 mg of valsartan; and 97 mg of sacubitril and 103 mg of valsartan.

The oral pellet inactive ingredients are colloidal silicon dioxide, hydroxypropylcellulose, magnesium stearate (vegetable origin), microcrystalline cellulose, and talc. The film-coat inactive ingredients are basic butylated methacrylate copolymer, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearic acid, and talc. The capsule shell inactive ingredients are hypromellose and titanium dioxide (E171). The capsule shell for the 15 mg of sacubitril and 16 mg of valsartan oral pellets also contains iron oxide yellow (E172). The printing ink contains shellac, propylene glycol, iron oxide red (E172), ammonia solution (concentrated), and potassium hydroxide. Valsartan structural formula
