Captopril-induced cough

Chest. 1988 Mar;93(3):659-61. doi: 10.1378/chest.93.3.659.

Abstract

Since the advent of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (captopril and enalapril), cough has been recognized sporadically as a side effect, but has received little attention in the pulmonary literature. To emphasize that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors should be considered among possible etiologies of cough, we report recent experience with two patients and review the available experience with ACE inhibitor-induced cough.
