A member asked:
If it is not uncommon for ace inhibitors to produce an annoying cough, why not prescribe arbs from the get go? are they generally less effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reasonable: Alternative. Most of the clinical studiesdone in heart failure, heart attack and hypertension were done with ace inhibitors so there is a tremendous amount of data backing its use. There is more data regarding arb's in the last few years.
