User Reviews for Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan)

I have been on this medication for one month and have no idea as to its effectiveness. I was taken of Lasix and Losartan due to total lack of action. Chronic edema with slightly low blood pressure after 13 year survival of 100% occlusion of LAD and have been on 27 meds to maintain cardiac function but have begun having severe difficulties. Cardiologist placed me on this in an effort to improve my cardiac function, but advises me that it may not work, but we have tried every other possibility so it is the last ditch effort. Only side effects have been significantly worse edema, with lower extremities breaking open and blood pressure is significantly lower. Doubt that I will continue this med due to cost,lack of improvement, and worsening edema. Will add more info after another month to see what happens Read More Read Less

i recently started this med and wish there were more comments. Patient comments have helped me tremendously on other heart meds. I will check back in hopes I see more comments and can add one, also. At this writing I do not know if it is working for me. I am under the care of a Heart Failure doctor and an Interventionalist and in Cardiac Rehab, 3 x a week and walking a mile, 2 x a week. I am trying.

When I take this medication, I experience a little muscle weakness for 1 hour. I also feel a little strange in the head (like being a little foggy) for about 1 hour. Just beginning to feel some shortness of breath after being on this for 3 months. This is one of the allergic reactions listed for the medication. Will consult with my doctor about this.
