Hello, Thanks for using Healthcare magic. i had gone through the data you have posted. yes,losartan can cause persistent dry cough. kindly consult your doctor so that he will examine him and rule out other possible causes for chronic cough and if not other cause is found then we may need to change medication to other class.
persisitent dry cough is a class side effect of ACE/ARB s, though it is know that, cough is less common with ARB s it can be seen and if refractory discontinuation of medication may be necessary.
hope this helps.
