• Patient Counseling Points
o Counsel patients on signs of dry, hacky cough
ACE-I can cause a chronic cough due to mechanism switch to ARB
o Counsel women of child-bearing age about risk of fetal harm and importance of contraception
o Counsel patients on signs and symptoms of angioedema
Most prevalent with ACE-I, can occur with ARB
Go to emergency room/contact physician IMMEDIATELY
o Carefully monitor potassium intake (e.g. bananas, potatoes, salt substitutes such as Mrs. Dash)
