That cough is called the ACE cough. It is due to the increase in
bradykinin in the tissues. (this is one effect the ACE inhibitors have) Some doctors believe the cough is connected to a potential allergy, which can happen in some people using ACE inhibitors. But I think it is really a separate side effect.
I don't know of an antidote to that cough, but I'll look around for you this week, to see if anything NEW has been tried for it.
