This case aims to shed light on a particular prescribing cascade due to angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced cough. Case: A 101-year-old male with a past medical hypertension, osteoarthritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, muscle weakness, and mild intermittent asthma was experiencing worsening of cough.
