entresto skin side effects

[LizzieS33]

My husband was on the lowest dose of entresto for two months and for the last week has been taking an increased dose of 49/51. Not sure if it’s a coincidence but since then, he has been experiencing very dry and sore skin around his forehead and eyes.

He changed his moisturiser last week so common sense would tell me this may be more to do with the skin issue but wanted to find out if anyone else had experienced anything similar?

hi. Has your husband been in the sun? The reason I ask is because I have tanned really well all my life. I usually had a tan by February and I live in the north of Scotland. Now that I take a cocktail of heart medication, any exposure to sun without factor 50 and my skin comes out in red blotches. Almost like blisters!

Thanks for your reply. I hadn’t thought of that. He played golf over the weekend but wore sunglasses and sunscreen as well as a hat so I think the affected skin areas would have been covered.

Hi now on highest dose, haven’t had a problem.

Hi LizzieS33, I take 24/26 mg twice daily with no skin problem. Could he have an allergy to the moisturiser? I have a very sensitive face and have never used anything but baby soap.
