    julie01092...You're now on an ARB. They can cause a cough as well, but not as likely as an ACE which you were on (Rampiril). Anything ending in "il" is an ACE.

    You may still have the Rampiril cough for a few weeks, or it may be a shorter time for you. We're all different. Stay positive. Let us know how you get on.

    Hi Julie  

    Has your cough gone away yet?  And how are you finding the Losartan?
