Hello Sir
After going through the medical details and the drug history provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and the side-effects which you are facing and I would like to tell you that he Derby claw is basically a combination of Azilsartan and chlorthalidone which are two different group of drugs and olmesartan belongs to a different group of drug.
Now Azilsartan and olmesartan belong to same group and are know to cause coughing as side effect in some proportion of patients.
I would like to suggest you to discuss with your treating doctor to change the drug to a different group like calcium channel blockers like Cilnidipine or ACE inhibitors group like Ramipril.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards

I'm a bit confused:
1. Are my three drugs (listed above) in three different families, or two families and which are closely related?
2. Do all 3 drugs cause coughing?
3. Do all 3 drugs cause itching?
4. Thus i need to find a drug in the calcium channel blockers or in the family of Ace Inhibitors?
5. Since the coughing is just started (4 days) on the Olmesartan should I keep on for say a week to be sure it is not going to fade away?
Thanks and do provide a bit more guidance
