  1. Swelling of the tongue or hoarseness are the most common symptoms.
  2. It appears to be related to the decrease in aldosterone production.
  3. Presence of a dry, hacky cough indicates a high risk for this adverse response.
  4. Because it takes time to build up a blood level, it occurs after being on the drug for about 1 week.

Question 2
