Q: Which ACE Inhibitor is well known to cause taste disturbances?


Answer: Captopril

Taste disturbance, infrequent with most ACE inhibitors, is more prevalent in captopril and is attributed to its sulfhydryl moiety. Though captopril is not in much use in USA, it is still very much in use in developing countries due to its cost effectiveness.
