title: Cough caused by cilazapril.
abstract: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are a group of drugs recently introduced to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure. There are many reports of a dry cough in patients treated with (ACE) inhibitors, but this is often considered a rare side effect. Eleven of 30 patients treated with the investigational ACE inhibitor cilazapril complained about a chronic cough.
