Brief Answer:
This not an ace inhibitor

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

this drug is not an ace inhibitor and is not supposed to cause cough after many years of uneventful use. Contact your doctor for investigation. Other causes have to be excluded first before attributing any symptom to drugs.

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
