Farxiga plus Spiranolactone to help LVF?

Hi Was wondering if anyone's doc suggested this combination along with Entresto for left ventricular function. It is supposed to help patients with decreased EF remain stable. My doc suggested it at my last visit but I was hesitant being this is a diabetic medicine.

  1. I am on all three. I have had no problems. I would ask your doctor to explain how the farxiga works to help your heart.

    1. Thanks for sharing! How long have you been taking this medication combination? Do you feel like it has been working well for you? -Lauren (Team member)

    1. Hi there, thanks for posting your question here. Farxiga is not only for diabetes. It is used for folks with heart failure and has been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalizations. I'm linking an article that discusses Farxiga and how it works in terms of heart failure. Let us know if you have any more questions. https://heart-failure.net/treatment/farxiga -Lauren (team member)
