Sacubitril and Valsartan tablets
What is sacubitril and valsartan?
Sacubitril is a blood pressure medicine. It works by increasing the levels of certain proteins in the body that can dilate (widen) blood vessels. This helps lower blood pressure by reducing sodium levels.
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (sometimes called an ARB). Valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
Sacubitril and valsartan is a combination medicine used in certain people with chronic heart failure. This medicine helps lower the risk of needing to be hospitalized when symptoms get worse, and helps lower the risk of death from heart failure.
Sacubitril and valsartan is usually given together with other blood pressure medications.
Sacubitril and valsartan may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about sacubitril and valsartan?

If you have diabetes, do not use sacubitril and valsartan together with any medication that contains aliskiren (Amturnide, Tekturna, Tekamlo, Valturna).
