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). Valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Entresto is 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.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Amlodipine and valsartan is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk of a stroke or heart attack. Amlodipine and valsartan is usually given after other blood pressure medicines have been tried without success.
Eplerenone blocks the actions of the hormone aldosterone in the body. Aldosterone is important for the regulation of blood pressure. Eplerenone is used to treat congestive heart failure after a heart attack. Eplerenone is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Generic Norvasc is used for treating high blood pressure and angina (chest pain). Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk of a stroke or heart attack. Amlodipine and valsartan is usually given after other blood pressure medicines have been tried without success.
