The cost of a one-month supply of sacubitril/valsartan is approximately $413. ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) and ARBs (angiotensin-receptor blockers) are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and congestive heart failure, to prevent kidney failure in patients with high blood pressure or diabetes, and to reduce the risk of stroke. ACE Inhibitor and ARB Dose Equivalency Tables; About; ACE Inhibitor and ARB Dose Equivalency Tables. The most significant adverse effects of sacubitril/valsartan are symptomatic hypotension, renal dysfunction, and hyperkalemia. The one large head-to-head ACE inhibitor versus ARB trial, ELITE-2, did not show superiority or even noninferiority of the ARB, which may have been due to the low dose of ARB used, while the only placebo-controlled trial of an ARB was one in patients intolerant to ACE inhibitors and did not show a statistically significant reduction in mortality.
