No "issues": Altace is a brand ACE inhibitor very good for treatment of hypertension, heart failure and prevention of renal failure in patients with diabetes and hypertension (as are all ACE inh). In a few patients, cough can be an annoying side effect that may force the doctor to switch to an ARB. Very few patients may have a very serious allergic reaction and then, no ACE inh can be used.
