1. Why am I using SACUBITRIL/VALSARTAN ALPHAPHARM?
SACUBITRIL/VALSARTAN ALPHAPHARM is used to treat a type of heart failure in adults.
SACUBITRIL/VALSARTAN ALPHAPHARM has been shown to lower the risk of cardiovascular related deaths and heart failure related hospitalisation.
SACUBITRIL/VALSARTAN ALPHAPHARM contains the active ingredients sacubitril and valsartan. It is an angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), which contains two active ingredients: sacubitril (a neprilysin inhibitor), and valsartan (angiotensin receptor blocker or ARB). SACUBITRIL/VALSARTAN ALPHAPHARM works by blocking the changes caused by the enzyme neprilysin, and angiotensin-II. As a result, blood vessels relax and less water is kept by the body which is beneficial to treat heart failure.
