Brief Answer: Side effect of ACE Revelol Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the reply in detail The cough you are suffering from the past 3 months is most likely to be the side effect of ACE Revelol, it contains Ramipril which is an ACE inhibitor, and these medications are well known to cause cough. I advice you to approach your treating doctor to change your medication to ARB, like Losartan to do away with the side effect. Continue taking all other medications. Please do not stop the drug on your own. I hope I was of help, if you have any further doubts please get back to me. I am sorry for the short delay in my reply, I was on call at my hospital I wish you good health Regards
