Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I took Inderal for years for a mild case of high blood pressure. When my T2 diabetes was diagnosed recently, my doctor switched me to Lisinopril, since ACE Inhibitors may help to prevent kidney damage and heart problems. However, the cough is starting to drive me nuts. I guess some people can take a different ACE Inhibitor, and others have to go to an ARB. Anyone here able to change to another ACE Inhibitor and not have the cough? Thanks, May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a 5$ copay for generics, $15 for some non-generics and $25 for others. Obviously, I'll take an ARB if I have to.
