Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Dry, non-productive cough is a very characteristic side effect of this drug for sure. In such case this medicine can be replaced by a sartans medicines which have similar effect but do not cause a cough. Please consult a doctor about this problem.
Upset stomach, burping and diarrhea are rather not the side effects of this medicine. This might be a symptoms of stomach issue or gastrointestinal infection. You may add probiotic to your diet and see how it works.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
