I have just been prescribed Valsartan for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

I’ve looked at the side effects and was told if I start having side effects nausea dizziness etc To contact doctor. Have other members taking this drug.

I have beeb taking Entresto which is a combination of valsaetin and sacbuteral for 9 years now. My EF is approximately 30%. I have had no CHF or side effects such as dizziness or nausea. To be safe I have my potassium checked every 6mos and it has remained within normal range .Best, etheral

I have had no side effects. It has been very beneficial for me and my EF has improved to 50% compared to 25% at the start of treatment some six years ago. It is prescribed with other medication ( Epleron, Ivabradine, Dabaglifozin) so difficult to say if all improvement is due to Entresto. Good luck
