Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to ACE inhibitors:

1. When should I take my medication? Should I take it at the same time every day? With food? Can I take it with other liquids besides water?
   
   
2. What happens if I run out or miss a dose?
   
   
3. When I'm first taking ACE inhibitors, are there any normal side effects that I can expect but that shouldn't be alarming?
   
   
4. How long will it take for my body to adjust to the medication?
   
   
5. What are the side effects that should cause me to call you?
   
   
6. Are there any dietary supplements that might affect the ACE inhibitors?
   
   
7. Which over-the-counter medications should I avoid?
   
   
8. How long will I be taking ACE inhibitors?
   
   
9. Do ACE inhibitors cure my disease or only prevent it from worsening?
   
   
10. What lifestyle modifications can I make to help the medication work?
    
    
11. Is this the lowest possible dose?
    
    
12. If I react poorly to ACE inhibitors, are there other medications I can switch to?
