can Anyone tell me if you are on Entresto and how you are getting on with it,I have to start it in a few days time and I’m feeling anxious thank you

Hiya. I was put on Entresto 3 months ago and, with the exception of a bit of an annoying dry cough for few weeks, i felt no other adverse effects at all. I know we are all different but hopefully you are ok on it.

I have been on the maximum dose (plus a pacemaker) for a couple of years with no problems bar a slight cough, and my EF improved from 20% to 60%. If you can tolerate it, Entresto can be very effective.

[Summerplace in reply to RufusScamp]

That’s excellent, hope l can tolerate it 🤞

Greetings,

I’ve been on Entresto for 6 months ….. one in morning and one at night. Absolutely no probs. Also on Dapaglflosin, Bisoprolol, Atorvastatin and Spironolactone …… all pretty well uneventful with one exception …… Bisoprolol lowers BP to around 95/60 so some dizziness at times.

After AV Node ablation 2 days ago, EP has now lowered Bisoprolol to 1.25mg and touch wood, no dizziness (yet!!!!)

Good luck.

Hello it seems to be the one heart medicine where people on the whole don't suffer too many sources effects and if r they do they are relatively mild. I have been on them for 8 months after an AVR and take it twice daily with the stronger dose in the morning. We are all different but I hope you will be fine. It seems to be a bit of a wonder drug.

thank you for your reply, do you have to cut down on bananas and potatoes when on it .

[Straie2Showtime in reply to Summerplace]

I've been on it for a month and a half and I eat alot of sweet potatoes and bananas, no problems at all for Me. I believe if your kidneys are good there shouldn't be a high potassium problem. I definitely wouldnt overdo it though.

[Summerplace in reply to HenryTudor]

so pleased your ok with it 🤞I’m the same Have just taken my first one and the cardiologist told me I must drink 2 1/2 L of fluid a day so I presume that’s to help our kidneys
