Is There Any OTC Available As Decongestant For A High BP Patient With History Of Open Heart Surgery?

My husband has high blood pressure and he takes Ramipril 5 mg. He had open heart surgery last April...cabbagex5. He needs a decongestant for a chronic cough he gets in the winter months. Is there an OTC that he can safely take that will decongest him?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi I read your query.

Unfortunately there's no OTC for your husband.

I suggest consulting your cardiologist for propper treatment.

Hope it was of help!
