Abstract

            Sacubitril Valsartan Sodium Salt Complex is a new fixed-dose oral medication combination of the Neprilysin inhibitor, Sacubitril and the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), Valsartan. It purpose is to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization in patients with reduce ejection fraction heart failure. The most frequent adverse reaction is hyperkalemia and hypotension. It is necessary to obtain basic drug information in order to maximize utilization.
