Prevent Mishaps With Entresto or Corlanor in Heart Failure Patients

July 2017

You may see more Rxs for Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) or Corlanor (ivabradine) for systolic heart failure.

Heart failure patients usually get an ACE inhibitor (lisinopril, etc) OR an ARB (losartan, etc)...PLUS a beta-blocker (metoprolol SUCCINATE, carvedilol, or bisoprolol).

But Entresto is getting more attention since it may prevent cardiovascular death...and Corlanor may reduce heart failure hospitalizations.
