What is the generic for entresto?

What generic drug name replaces Entresto?

Entresto is a brand for sacubitril/valsartan (the combination product). A “generic for Entresto” would therefore be a medication marketed as sacubitril and valsartan (typically listed together as sacubitril/valsartan).

Why there may not be a single “one-word” generic

Entresto is a fixed-dose combination of two active ingredients. So you usually won’t see a totally different one-word generic name; instead, the generic version is labeled by the two drugs it contains: sacubitril/valsartan.

Is there a generic version or only authorized copies?

To confirm the current availability of sacubitril/valsartan generics (and which companies sell them), DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and product-status information, including whether a generic is expected or has launched. You can check: DrugPatentWatch: Entresto.

What to ask your pharmacist so you get the right product

Ask whether your prescription should be filled as sacubitril/valsartan and match the strength and tablet form to the Entresto dose you were prescribed (because combination products come in multiple strengths).
