Cough and Fosinopril: A Summary

For people taking fosinopril, a cough is a possible side effect (it is a common side effect with all ACE inhibitors). Keep in mind that your healthcare provider cannot know beforehand whether you will have a side effect with a medicine that you have never taken. Therefore, if you notice a cough while taking fosinopril, talk to your healthcare provider. If the cough continues, he or she may recommend switching to another ACE inhibitor or another medicine for heart failure or high blood pressure.
