Indications
This combination is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction.

This combination is usually administered in conjunction with other heart failure therapies, in place of an ACE inhibitor or other ARB.
Therapeutic Class
Combined antihypertensive preparations
Pharmacology
Sacubitril’s active metabolite, LBQ657 inhibits neprilysin, a neutral endopeptidase that would typically cleave natiuretic peptides, which includes: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). ANP and BNP are released under atrial and ventricle stress, which activate downstream receptors leading to vasodilation, natriuresis and diuresis.
Dosage & Administration
The recommended starting dose of this combination is 49/51 mg twice-daily.

Double the dose of this combination after 2 to 4 weeks to the target maintenance dose of 97/103 mg twice daily, as tolerated by the patient.

Dose Adjustment For Patients Not Taking An ACE inhibitor Or ARB Or Previously Taking Low Doses Of These Agents.

A starting dose of 24/26 mg twice-daily is recommended for patients not currently taking an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and for patients previously taking low doses of these agents. Double the dose of this combination every 2 to 4 weeks to the target maintenance dose of 97/103 mg twice daily, as tolerated by the patient.

Sacubitril & Valsartan is contraindicated with concomitant use of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. If switching from an ACE inhibitor to Sacubitril & Valsartan allow a washout period of 36 hours between administration of the two drugs.
