ENTRESTO treatment during organogenesis resulted in increased embryo-fetal lethality in rats at doses
≥ 49 mg sacubitril/51 mg valsartan/kg/day (≤ 0.14 [LBQ657, the active metabolite] and 1.5 [valsartan]fold the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD] of 97/103 mg twice-daily on the basis of the area
under the plasma drug concentration-time curve [AUC]) and rabbits at doses ≥ 5 mg sacubitril/5 mg
valsartan/kg/day (4-fold and 0.06-fold the MRHD on the basis of valsartan and LBQ657 AUC, respectively). ENTRESTO is teratogenic based on a low incidence of fetal hydrocephaly, associated with maternally toxic doses, which was observed in rabbits at an ENTRESTO dose of ≥ 5 mg sacubitril/5 mg
valsartan/kg/day. The adverse embryo-fetal effects of ENTRESTO are attributed to the angiotensin rec
