Lisinopril Cough

Updated

I have been taking lisinopril for about a year with an annoying cough the whole time. Then suddenly last week developed a cough from hell, all day, and all night, no sleep, etc. Went to the doctor and they said it was the lisinopril and changed the perscription. When I was in line to pick it up the man in front of me was there for the same reason. Is there a bad batch running around?

I doubt it is due to a bad batch, it is actually a very common side effect of this medication. For some people it is very mild and wears off after a few weeks, but for others, it continues or worsens and they have to switch medications.

In all honesty, you should have talked to your doctor about the cough and something should have been done about it some time long before this.

I took my first pill last night of Lisinopril and am not sure what I have, but a very deep cough. I want to take Tylenol cold multi-symptom; it's 2 in the morning. That is all I have in the house. Is it safe? What cough medicine can i take when taking Lisinopril?
