Sacubitril and Valsartan Vymada 100 mg Tablet

Why is valsartan given with sacubitril?

In summary, the combination of sacubitril and valsartan suppresses both angiotensin II and neprilysin, limiting the detrimental cardiac consequences of RAAS activation and raising endogenous levels of NPs that produce beneficial cardiac effects without increasing the risk of angioedema.

How does sacubitril work in heart failure?

Vymada prevents the body’s natriuretic peptides from being broken down. Sodium and water are excreted in the urine via natriuretic peptides. This impact lowers blood pressure and reduces work on the heart. The two drugs work together to relieve the load on the weakening heart.

Does Vymada affect blood pressure?

Background: In patients with heart failure, LCZ696 (sacubitril/valsartan), a first-in-class angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, can considerably lower blood pressure.

How does Vymada work?

The medicine Vymada inhibits neprilysin and blocks the angiotensin II type-I receptor, resulting in an increase in the number of peptides destroyed by neprilysin. By blocking the AT1 receptor and decreasing the production of angiotensin II-dependent aldosterone, valsartan reduces the effects of angiotensin II.

When do you use Vymada?

Sacubitril/valsartan is a first-in-class angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) that has been suggested in clinical practice guidelines to improve morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic, symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Does Vymada work?

Sacubitril belongs to the neprilysin inhibitors class of medications, while valsartan belongs to the angiotensin receptor blockers class (ARBs). They operate by relaxing blood arteries, allowing more blood to flow freely and making it easier for your heart to pump blood throughout your body.
