A member asked:

I was taking ramipril and got off of it due to cough. a week after being off of it would the coughing be any better or could it take longer?

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

May take longer: ACE inhibitors induced cough may last up to a month after stopping the drug. In general it takes 1-4 weeks.
