CompositionSACUTAN 50 TABLET 40 + 20 FREE is used to treat chronic heart failure in adults whose heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump enough blood. It helps improve heart function, ease symptoms such as breathlessness and tiredness, and reduce the risk of hospital admission and death from heart problems.
It combines sacubitril and valsartan and belongs to a group of medicines called ARNIs (angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors), which relax the blood vessels and reduce fluid overload, easing the strain on the heart. Take it daily as prescribed, and do not stop it without medical advice.
Following any advice on salt and fluids, weighing yourself regularly if asked to, staying active within your limits and quitting smoking support your heart alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems, or a history of swelling under the skin (angioedema), before starting, and about other medicines you take. It must not be taken with ACE inhibitors. Regular blood tests check your kidneys and potassium. Report swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or marked dizziness.
