A member asked:
Cough upon altace trial 10 yrs ago. possible i might not have same reaction now, esp w/diff brand of ace inhibitor? ace studies look better than arb.

Altace cough: it is worth trying again as you will know quickly whether you are sensitive to it, and if you are, you can stop it. Best to check with your cardiologist.
