Entresto

Advertisements champion Entresto as a phenomenal treatment for heart failure capable of reducing cardiovascular death and heart related hospitalization. Many peculiarities exist in the study leading to FDA approval. It was principally conducted in Eastern European countries, Russia, the Philippines, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico and India. Only 5% of the patients resided in the United States. Actually Entresto basically combines the anti-hypertensive Diovan with a new compound Sacubirtil. Entresto with the maximum amount of Diovan was evaluated against a modest dose of another drug for high blood pressure rather than Diovan. So all of the benefits might actually stem from the Diovan component. Generic Diovan or valsartan costs less than $25 a month. Entresto’s cash price of $6000 a year or about $16 a day caused insurance companies initial hesitation which led to a lengthy authorization process. Due to the high drop-out rate, the benefits may much less than reported. Additionally it apparently works only in the milder forms of heart failure.

    Doctor I am currently involved in a study in Alberta, as a blind test subject because of unique condition and a brief discussion. To which I agreed willingly. Beyond that, I try to maintain ignorance but invariably, I will still represent the sector like myself who are doing their own self- education. Because like you, Alberta is skeptical of most existing studies. Therefore their own study They currently buy it from Novartis at a negotiated price roughly at 10% of the US price. Please contact me discretely, but I won't risk ruining my own sample by providing you with more than my own observations.

Other than that, real people are reporting reduced HF symptoms which is exciting to me if it at least does no more harm than a normal ACE inhibitor.

    I'VE BEEN ON ENTRESTO FOR A MONTH. MY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM HAS BEEN BADLY EFFECTED. MY FOOD TAKES LONGER TO DIGEST. IF I EAT BREAKFEST MY STOMACH FEELS FULL ALL DAY UNTIL THE NIGHT. ONE DAY I ATE BREAKFEST. THEN LUNCH, AND AFTER DINNER. NEVER WENT TO THE BATHROOM. NEXT DAY HAD BREAKFEST AGAIN AND LUNCH AND LATER DINNER AND STILL NEVER WENT. UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. STARTED NOTICING MY SHIT SMELLED LIKE THE SHIT IN BABY DIAPER. WHICH MEANS ONE THING IS HAS BADLY EFFECTED MY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. BY LOGICAL REASONING A BABY DOES NOT HAVE FULLY DEVELOPED DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WHICH IS THE REASON BABY SHIT SMELLS THE WAY IT DOES. SO IT HAS EFFECTED THE STOMACH FUNCTION. NOW I'M GETTING MIGRAIN HEADACHE. WHEN I FIRST GOT SICK 2 1/2 YEARS AGO MY EJECTION WAS AT 25%. THE DOCTOR PUT ME ON DIGOXIN AND THE EJECTION FRACTION WENT UP TO 40-45% AND NEVER HAD NOT ONE SIDE EFFECT. DIGOXIN IS MADE FROM A NATURAL PLANT AND IS TRIED AND TRUE AND AROUND FOR YEARS USED WITH GREAT SUCCESS AND TESTED DURING A TIME IF ASPIRINS WERE INVENTED DURING THAT TIME. THE FDA WOULD HAVE NEVER ALLOWED ASPIRINS ON THE MARKET. THAT IS HOW STRICT THE FDA WAS UNTIL THESE CRIMINAL IN BIG PHARMA HIJACKED THE FDA. AFTER MY HEART GOT STRONGER MY DOCTOR THEN TOOK ME OFF THE DIGOXIN AND WATER PILLS AND I WAS FINE. UNTIL I ONCE AGAIN 2 YEARS LATER I INHALED IRON FROM A GRINDER WITH A BAD DUST MASK WHICH INFLAMED MY AIRWAYS. MY HEART FUNCTION WAS ALSO ONCE AGAIN EFFECTED AND HE PUT ME ON ENTRESTO. I GOING TO SEE HIM AND GO BACK ON DIGOXIN. ENSTRESTO IS ALSO HARD ON THE KIDNEYS AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL BLOW OUT YOUR KIDNEYS AND YOU'LL BE GETTING DIALYSIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. TO SUM THIS ALL UP. THE OLD MEDICINES WERE EXTREMELY SAFE AND THOUROGHLY TESTED FOR MANY YEARS AND WORKED VERY WELL. SO THE PHARMACUETICAL COMPANIES COULDN'T JUSTIFY CHARGING LOTS OF MONEY FOR DRUGS MADE FROM NATURAL SOURCES WHICH COST NOTHING TO MAKE. INSTEAD THEY HAVE THROWN ALL THE GOOD DRUGS AWAY AND CREATED CHEMICALS THE NOT ONLY DESTROY YOUR BODY BUT ALSO CAN KILL YOU.

    Your talk about Entresto is really alarming. I've watched a few other videos and they bring up most of your points, although you go into greater detail. I was just prescribed this drug for heart failure brought on by a prolonged case of breakthrough covid-delta pneumonia. I'm a 63 year old female. There is NO WAY I can afford this drug so they will have to give it to me or my doctor will have to figure something else out. The fact that the study was done by the drug-maker makes me very suspicious of the results. And anything that could potentially contribute to developing Alzheimer's is a HUGE red flag for me. I'm very conflicted now on what to do. A reply would be much appreciated. I see that this post was from 2018 and I'm wondering if there is more data out from the last few years or if everything has been shut down due to covid.

    demand your doctor just prescribe a generic ARB, there are 8 or 9 to choose from, valsartan is only one of them. The truth is the clinical trials have yet to prove that entresto is any better than it's generic ARB component valsartan. Novartis is currently under US department of justice investigation over entresto. Novartis is also under investigations for falsification of clinical trial data for another drug they were trying to develop.
