"I started on Altace for blood pressure of 145/90. Brought my BP down to 130's and 80's. During this period (2 yrs) I had a cough that progressively got worse, to the point everyone thought I was catching a cold. I would cough every day. By the end of the second year when I would cough, I would gag and cough up clear liquid. I spoke to the doctor and she said, 'Oh no, your cough is not from this.' Well, I reread the pharmacy papers and it was stated that a possible side effect of this medicine is a cough. I called the doctor and told her what I read, she agreed to change my prescription, and within a couple of days my cough was gone. So if you have a persistent cough (dry or wet) on any medicines for more than a month, please investigate the side effects."

"I've been on Altace for 6 years. I carefully analyze if I've noticed any changes in any organ system, as well as any type of side effect that didn't exist before I was on this drug. I honestly have never noticed any kind of side effect at all from day one. More importantly, my blood pressure is now routinely around 110/70...sometimes slightly lower still. Considering that I take one 10mg capsule daily, and that my blood pressure was usually 145/85-95, the results are quite impressive."

"Loved this drug at first, but about 3 months in the side effects became overwhelming. Lightheadedness without hypotension, feeling very tired throughout the day, nausea, severe abdominal and back pain, and digestive-like pains. It reduced my blood pressure by 15 points systolic, but the severe side effects I experienced made me look for another option."

"I have only been on this medication for seven days. After the second day, I was having severe abdominal cramping. Has anyone else had this reaction? It did a great job of lowering my blood pressure, though."

"I have taken Altace along with a diuretic for about 20 years, and the problem was it lowered my blood pressure too much that my doctor had me take it only 3 times a week. Other than that, I have no side effects."

"I have used Altace for 5 years now and have found it does have an effect on having or keeping an erection, but my blood pressure pretty much stays at 130/80."

"The only side effect is the cough, other than that, I tolerate it perfectly with no other side effects."
