Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) does not come in a 15/16 mg tablet. The standard tablet strengths are: - 24 mg sacubitril / 26 mg valsartan - 49 mg sacubitril / 51 mg valsartan - 97 mg sacubitril / 103 mg valsartan If you’re seeing a label or prescription that says 15/16, this isn’t a standard strength. It could be a misprint or a misunderstanding. Please check with your pharmacist or prescriber to confirm the exact dose. Dosing basics for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), using the usual strengths: - Starting dose depends on prior ACE inhibitor/ARB therapy. - If transitioning from low-dose ACEi/ARB or not on one, start at 24/26 mg twice daily. - If tolerating and the previous ACEi/ARB dose was moderate/high, titrate to 49/51 mg twice daily, then to 97/103 mg twice daily as tolerated. - Do not use with ACE inhibitors together; there needs to be an appropriate washout period when switching from an ACE inhibitor to Entresto. - Maximum recommended is 97/103 mg twice daily. Important safety notes: - Do not use in pregnancy. - Monitor blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium. - Report signs of angioedema (swelling of face, lips, tongue, throat; trouble breathing). If you can share the exact wording on your prescription or packaging (or a photo, if you have one), I can help interpret it and suggest the next steps. But for now, there isn’t a recognized Entresto 15/16 mg dose.
