How to prescribe ENTRESTO to your adult patients

Choose initial dose of ENTRESTO based on current treatment and titrate to the target dose1

  • ENTRESTO is contraindicated with concomitant use of an ACEi and in patients with a history of angioedema related to previous ACEi or ARB therapy1

  • Avoid use of ENTRESTO with an ARB, because ENTRESTO contains the angiotensin II receptor blocker valsartan1

Unless your patient is on a high ACEi/ARB dose, start ENTRESTO at 24/26 mg twice daily and double the dose every 2 to 4 weeks, as tolerated by the patient. When switching from an ACEi, be sure to allow for a 36-hour washout period prior to initiating ENTRESTO.1
