I enjoy teaching. I enjoy teaching my patients about their disease process and informing them of the options they have. I explain to patients about their options, and the procedures in as much detail as a patient wants to hear. I hope to treat every patient as I want to be treated.
What is the drug for? ENTRESTO is a drug to be taken in conjunction with other heart failure therapies for the long-term treatment of chronic heart failure. This is a condition in which the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to meet the bodyâs needs.
Entresto contains a combination of 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).
