After taking these medicines for about 15 days, a severe "DRYCOUGH " attacked me. However, I am continuing the medicines as per the advise of my physician. kindly advise me what is the reason for such drycough. Shall I continue these medicines?

Have either of you consulted a doctor?

I have initially took 5/5 mg of coveram for 2 months.. after my bp was found to be at 160/100.. the doctor prescribed 10/10 coveram but it causes heavy dry cough which lasted for more than a month.. another doctor prescribed to me another medication to stop my coughing. ## A dry cough is a possible side effect of most blood pressure medications, according to the NIH. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. In most cases, the dry cough doesn't go away and someone must try alternative medications. Have you discussed doing so with your doctor? Is this the only medication you are currently taking?

I had cold with bad cough and I took antibiotic Augmentin 650 mg for 5 days. However, dry cough is still persisting and irrtating even not able to sleep. ## Since it is an antibiotic, it is only effective for treating infections and a cold is caused by a virus, so antibiotics do not help.

I started taking Coveram last December 2017 and after 1 week i developed cough which I find very disturbing. The effect of it was exemplary and just maintained my BP but the cough is really my concern. Just this March, my follow up check up, I talked to my Doctor and raised my concern regarding the cough. He changed my anti hypertensive medications to Twynsta. Until now my cough does not go away. What can be the possible reason for this? I am taking Vitamin C daily and maintained my hydration. Please help. ## Coeram contains Perindopril and Amlodipine, and Twynsta contains Telmisartan and Amlodipine, and according to NIH reports, the Amlodipine is notorious for causing a dry cough as a side effect. The problem is that once that cough starts, it usually doesn't go away, so my best gu...

I had open heart surgery in 2006 and taking Carca 6.25 morning & Night, Clavix As75 afternoon and Lipicure-20 mg, Cardace 10 mg in the night. Now I am given TAZLOC -40. Telmisartan tablets IP 40 mg instead of Cardace-10 mg to avoid cough at times. ## Hello, Thiyagarajan! How are you doing? If your doctor prescribed them, because they felt it wouldn't cause the dry cough, then the best thing to do would be to try them and see how they work for you. The usual side effects to Telmisartan may include nausea, dizziness, hypotension and stomach pain, but not everyone experiences them. Learn more Tazloc details here. Did you discuss your concerns with your doctor?

I've been coughing for almost a month. It's a dry cough and it feels like there's something sticking onto my throat that makes me want to cough. Sometimes my throat feels itchy. What medicine should I use? Please help me. I've been to the doctor but the med didn't work. They just gave me something for the allergy...Thanks. ## Hi Beyone, Sorry to hear about your cough. How have you been feeling since the timing of your post last week? Since this cough has persisted for almost a month, I can understand why they may have given you allergy medication. It's spring time now with things blooming and pollen in the air. Do you feel sick other than the cough? If so, it could be a viral infection...although you'd probably have to get some clarification through the docto...

The NIH warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Are either of the patients in question on any other medications?

Hello. I have a terrible cough, not dry but very painful when coughing and my throat is itchy.

It's typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Has there been any change, or are you still experiencing these symptoms? Are you on any other medications? ## I have a severe case of cough/congestion and have been taking penicillin but it's not helping! What else can I take to take it away?

Hi doc, my baby she is 1 month old she has a dry cough, i took her to a clinic they only gave her parcetamol, not anti biotics or powder for suspension, should i buy it ## Hi Nokuzola, Based on my research, newborns 2 months or older can safely be given Paracetamol (also know as Acetaminophen) as long as the dose is correctly measured based on the newborn's body weight. If your doctor said it was ok to give your 1 month old Paracetamol/Acetaminophen, just be sure to confirm that the dosage is right so no problems occur. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Acetaminophen Details I hope this info helps! ## May 3weeks old baby ko nag ipot ipot PO cxa Anu PO kayang gamot para SA kanya

TussiCap is a brand new medication in capsule form. It has 10 mg of Hydrocodone and 8 mg of a drug I'm not familiar with. The drug without inurance in $600.00!!!!! I got it for 25 bucks ## Wow! I'm very glad that the coupon saved you so much money, that's a crazy price. The other ingredient is the antihistamine Chlorpheniramine.

i am a 62 year old and have been on candersatan for approximately 6 years. I developed a dry tickly cough about 3 years ago and thought it was an allergy as it comes and goes and I can go for several days without coughing. Recently it has got worse and is frequently accompanied by watery eyes and blocked nose. It is keeping both me and my husband awake at night. To be honest it's driving me nuts. My work involves numerous telephone conversations and clients are now commenting on my cough! Time to get sorted I think! Coughing has happened before on a previous medication but I can't remember the name of that. I was swapped on to Candersatan to eliminate coughing! Is there any blood pressure drug that doesn't have this side effect? ## Hello, Jenni! How are you doing? I'm so...
