Q: My doctor gave me a prescription for lisinopril-hctz 20-25 mg for my blood pressure. Since I have been taking them I have developed a dry cough all day. I was not coughing like this before and I do not have a cold. Is this a side effect?
A: ACE inhibitors, such as Linsinopril, can cause a dry cough. It is likely that you are experiencing a side effect of your medication. Report this to your doctor.
