Are BP Medicines Causing Sore Throat?

Hi, I am being treated for high blood pressure...was given a pacemaker in November 2013 and had to have leads replaced in February this year due to an effusion. This was caused by one of the initially installed leads perforating my heart. Ever since early February, I have had a very sore throat. Medication was changed from ramipril (5 mg) to candestartin (4 mg). Both were taken once per day. Wondering if these drugs are causing my sore throat?

Hi...ramipril can cause dry cough but it cant cause sore throat neither by these two drugs. Its better for u to take medication for sore throat like Tab. AUGMENTIN 625mg TDS
