A member asked:
What is a safe decongestant/cough suppressant to take with lisinopril?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: The best thing to do is ask your pharmacist when purchasing one, but most OTC cough meds are fine to take with the ACE inhibitor class. Interestingly, a dry cough is one of the most common side effects of the ACE medications (something to discuss with your Dr.).
