Experiences with

Entresto

I read the side effects of entresto sound pretty bad including dissinness. How have others using entresto found it? Are the side effects bad?I would appreciate your views. Thanks Milopalm

is there an alternative to entresto i am worried about my kidney function it has dropped to 26% from 35% since i have been on them for almost a year? 5

Has anyone’s BNP risen after being on Entresto and other medications while your ef has also risen? Does Entresto affect BNP? Thank you.

After a year on medium dose Entresto and not having negative side effects, Dr. Increased my dose. My energy level and quality of life has improved significantly. My unexpected side effect has been the increase in my sexual function! Being aroused and functional again.

I wanted to ask the community if anyone has recovered from HF well enough to actually get off medication such as entresto, forxiga, eplerenon, bisoprolol. Or are these typically life long drug?I know entresto is expensive but the patent runs out i think at the end of this year.

I've been switched to entresto because of it. Did your ef also recover relatively quickly then maybe fluctuate? I'm interested to know what ef experiences there are out there. As well as entresto experience. Did it help? What ef improvements did you see with entresto?

I am consulting the HF nurses, but in the meantime am wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar a couple of months after starting Entresto ? Thank you in advance for any input you can give b

Many thanks to all of you who replied to me.I am greatly relieved to hear so many positive reactions from you all regarding entresto. I shall give it a try and take it at night as suggested, if and when I actually get to speak to heart failure nurse as she would have to prescribe it first.

Good Morning all Im about to be put onto Entresto and having collected the prescription it comes with a warning. Anyone had this new drug and how did your feel? Michele

Just wanted to say my E/F has gone up from 30% to 54% on the lowest dose of Entresto,so it can be done! I tried the middle dose but didn’t get on with it at all….too many side effects. I had an MRI just before Christmas and just received the 54% result…very very pleased!

I have tingly feet when on maximum dose?

I’m on Entresto and my blood pressure is 88/52. 78/51 84/50 l feel ok and can swim and walk on most days Does anyone know if I can fly with a low blood pressure also my ejection fraction is 40%

Lost alot of weight since then and diagnosed cardiomyopathy and put on max dose of entresto and eplerenone and ejection fraction went from 38% down to 28%. Come off entresto as side effects was numbness in hands on a night and chest palpations generally feeling horrible.

He takes amlodipine ,apixaban , Entresto digoxin , eplerenone , dapagliflozin , simvastin and finesteride . We are enjoying a good quality of life again . But I was wondering if anyone else experiences daily brain fog ? Thank you Marilyn

Since diagnosis been given meds, Entresto 49/51mg, Spironolactone 1/2 tablet, Nebivolol 1.25mg (1 a day), Dapagliflozin 10mg. I had another echo last week and the results came back as EF 30 - 35%!

The doctor switched out perindopril for entresto the other day. Perindopril had in any case been causing leg vein issues and leg swelling. Now I'm on entresto, the leg swelling has gone. Actually, not because of entresto but rather stopping perindopril.

Now with RF of 22%, and starting Entresto and dapaglaflozin (Forxiga). No noticeable problems with Entresto after 1 weeks, but would like to know of others' experiences of improvement / lack of. Also, just starting on dapaglaflozin .

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

I had HF last June and eventually put on Entresto dose of 24/26. Yesterday saw Cardiologist and he suggested increasing dose to 49/51. My EF is unchanged at 40% and BP 120/60. Overall I feel well for my age.at 86. I turned down the offer and he said he would not push me.
