I have been on the prexum high blood tablets and ever since i've been coughing. it is a very dry and irritating cough. is it possible that it is the tablets causing the cough. i googled the side effect of the prexum and the coughing was one of them?

Yes: Prexum, or perindopril, is from a class of medications called ACE inhibitors. You are correct – a common side effect of these medications includes a dry cough - up to one out of five people experience it. It’s worth sharing your experience with your doctor in order to potentially consider an alternative medication.
