Dear Julie: In my experience and my reading, I have not come across this as a symptom of PD. It is described for ACE inhibitors - antihypertensive drugs, such as captopril, lisinopril, monopril, etc. Since chronic cough can also be a symptom of other more serious conditions, it would be advisable to have this symptom evaluated by your internist.
