My husband started taking Lisinopril, 5mg about 3 weeks ago. It makes
him cough. Nothing awful, just annoying.

Does this side effect get any better with time? worse?

Other than the cough he doesn't seem to have any other problems with
it.

The doctor gave it to him because blood and urine tests indicated that
his kidneys were not functioning up to par.

thanks

Would suggest he inform his doctor because there are acceptable
alternatives so that he would no longer have the cough.

You are welcome, Jane.
