Use ENTRESTO™ in place of ACEis and ARBs for HFrEF patients1 ENTRESTO was studied in the largest HF trial ever conducted2 • Trial stopped early due to finding of significantly reduced risk of CV death and the primary end point being met3 ENTRESTO has been proven superior to enalapril, a current standard-of-care4 medication1 • Superiority vs enalapril, a standard-of-care ACEi therapy, across a range of NYHA class II–IV patients with chronic HF and reduced ejection fraction REDUCED RISK OF CV DEATH OR FIRST HF HOSPITALIZATION VS ENALAPRIL1 ABSOLUTE RISK REDUCTION1 P<0.0001 HR (95% CI): 0.80 (0.73, 0.87) REDEFINE EXPECTATIONS IN HEART FAILURE INDICATION ENTRESTO is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction. ENTRESTO is usually administered in conjunction with other heart failure therapies, in place of an ACE inhibitor or other ARB. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: FETAL TOXICITY • When pregnancy is detected, discontinue ENTRESTO as soon as possible • Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus ENTRESTO is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any component. ENTRESTO is contraindicated in patients with a history of angioedema related to previous angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy. ENTRESTO is contraindicated with concomitant use of ACE inhibitors. Do not administer within 36 hours of switching from or to an ACE inhibitor. ENTRESTO is contraindicated with concomitant use of aliskiren in patients with diabetes. Angioedema: ENTRESTO may cause angioedema. Angioedema associated with laryngeal edema may be fatal. ENTRESTO has been associated with a higher rate of angioedema in Black patients and in patients with a prior history of angioedema. If angioedema occurs, discontinue ENTRESTO immediately, provide appropriate therapy, and monitor for airway compromise. ENTRESTO must not be re-administered. Hypotension: ENTRESTO lowers blood pressure and may cause symptomatic hypotension. Patients with an activated renin-angiotensin system, such as volume- and/or salt-depleted patients (e.g., those being treated with high doses of diuretics), are at greater risk. Correct volume or salt depletion prior to administration of ENTRESTO or start at a lower dose. If hypotension persists despite dose adjustment of diuretics, concomitant antihypertensive drugs, and treatment of other causes of hypotension (e.g., hypovolemia) reduce the dosage or temporarily discontinue ENTRESTO. Permanent discontinuation of therapy is usually not required. Impaired Renal Function: Decreases in renal function may be anticipated in suscepti &
