Can coughing be a side effect of taking Ramipril?

Coughing is one of the possible side effects of Ramipril, which belongs to a group of ACE inhibitors used to treat high blood pressure.

It occurs in about 5-35% of patients taking ACE inhibitors, including Ramipril. This is a fairly common side effect of this class of drugs. The cough usually appears within the first few weeks or months of starting therapy. Therefore, your case, when the cough occurred 3 months after the start of therapy, is consistent with this profile. The cough caused by Ramipril is most often dry, persistent, and can be bothersome.

If your cough is bothersome, it's best to consult your doctor, who can give you more personalized advice. It is important that you do not stop taking Ramipril on your own, but consult your doctor who will decide on the best course of action. If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

I also encourage you to report the symptoms you are experiencing to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of an adverse reaction of the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
