Some anti-hypertensive medications do cause a cough. At first there is the sensation of a tickle at the back of the throat, and then a cough which feels as though it will clear this. However, for some individuals (single digit percentages), this cough becomes chronic and annoying. Lisinopril and other anti-hypertensive medications in the class of ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors is best known for producing this effect. Benicar has been reported to cause such a cough, in isolated cases. So, yes, it is possible, although rare.
