Title: Chronic cough due to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Author: Nuss DW, Lyons GD, Joseph JJ. Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 1990 Sep; 69(9):649, 651. PubMed ID: 2245793. Abstract: The ACE-inhibiting drugs enalapril and captopril may result in a chronic and sometimes severe cough for which no pathologic cause can be found. Drug-induced cough should therefore be considered in any symptomatic patient taking these medications. In such cases, prompt withdrawal of the drug and substitution of a non-ACE inhibitor is curative and conserves the time and resources of the patient and the physician by avoiding unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic measures.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
