Mechanism of Action

Sacubitril is an neprilysin inhibitor, and valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker.

Neprilysin is an enzyme that breaks down natriuretic peptides, which are hormones that help to relax blood vessels and make it easier for the heart to pump blood. Valsartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict and the heart to work harder.

By inhibiting neprilysin and blocking angiotensin II, Sacubitril +Valsartan helps to relax blood vessels, make it easier for the heart to pump blood, and reduce the workload on the heart. This can help to improve symptoms of heart failure and reduce the risk of hospitalization and death.

Here is a more detailed explanation of how Sacubitril +Valsartan works:

• Neprilysin inhibition: Sacubitril is an neprilysin inhibitor, which means it blocks the enzyme neprilysin. Neprilysin breaks down natriuretic peptides, which are hormones that help to relax blood vessels and make it easier for the heart to pump blood. By blocking neprilysin, sacubitril helps to increase the levels of natriuretic peptides in the body.
• Angiotensin II inhibition: Valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker, which means it blocks the effects of angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict and the heart to work harder. By blocking angiotensin II, valsartan helps to relax blood vessels and make it easier for the heart to pump blood.

The combination of neprilysin inhibition and angiotensin II inhibition is thought to be synergistic, meaning that it is more effective than either drug alone. This is why Sacubitril +Valsartan has been shown to be more effective than other heart failure medications in reducing the risk of hospitalization and death.

Sacubitril +Valsartan is a safe and effective medication for the treatment of heart failure. It is important to take Sacubitril +Valsartan exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking the medication without talking to your doctor first.
