Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough While On Benicar

Hi. I have been on Benicar (Olmesartan Medoxocmil) and have had a chronic cough since! It is getting so often and so annoying to my family, I find my self sucking on cough drops constantly. Also, my bladder leaks occasionaly from the hard, annoying cough! Is this a side effect from the meds?
