Brand Products Offer More Options for Heart Failure Treatment With Chart: Current Market Access to Chronic Heart Failure Medications
February 25
Treatment for heart failure still relies significantly on tried-and-true generic drugs, but new brand-name entrants — including Novartis’ Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) and Amgen’s Corlanor (ivabradine) — are important additions to prescribers’ clinical arsenals against the high-mortality condition, industry insiders say.
In fact, a newly approved expanded indication for Entresto, plus more products recently approved and in the pipeline, could shift the balance more toward brand-name drugs in heart failure treatment, the insiders say.
