Hello,
Usually, the use of ACE inhibitors is associated with dry coughing and cold symptoms.
In such cases, after getting a physical examination to rule out respiratory problems, if nothing, we advise patients to stop using ramipril.
So, the same for you, check with your primary physician for these respiratory issues, then, discuss dry coughing as the side effect of ramipril.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
