Cardace H is causing me a cough. What alternative medication can I take to avoid this side effect?
Asked by Male, 45 · 1 month ago
Cardace H contains ramipril, which some people may experience as a dry cough. Ask your doctor about switching to an ARB-based medication, such as losartan or telmisartan, which typically lowers blood pressure without making you cough.

Understanding the Cause of Cough with Cardace H
- Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor in Cardace H, can cause a persistent dry cough.
Alternative Medication Options
- Consider Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) like Telmisartan, Losartan, or Valsartan, which typically do not cause cough.
Consultation and Medical Supervision
- Consult your healthcare provider before switching medications.
- Monitor blood pressure and kidney function during any medication change.
Additional Considerations
- If ARBs are unsuitable, other options include calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers.
- Treatment should be personalized based on your health and medical history.
