ramipril cough

Ive had the most awful/exhausting cough for months and just came across this forum when searching something else. Thanks so much everyone hopefully now i have found the  reason for the cough. went to my GP today who has now changed my meds to Losartan . looking forward to losing the cough and getting a good nights sleep

julie01092...You're now on an ARB. They can cause a cough as well, but not as likely as an ACE which you were on (Rampiril). Anything ending in "il" is an ACE.

You may still have the Rampiril cough for a few weeks, or it may be a shorter time for you. We're all different. Stay positive. Let us know how you get on.

Hi Julie  

Has your cough gone away yet?  And how are you finding the Losartan?
