Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common autosomal recessive disorder in Caucasian populations with respiratory, gastrointestinal and endocrine manifestations. Thanks to recent advances in medical therapies and infection control, life expectancy of a patient with CF has significantly increased from less than 5 years in the mid-1900s to almost 50 years nowadays. However, as CF patients are living longer, multimorbidity and Hyperpharmacotherapy are becoming more common. This case illustrates a cascade of problems that ensued from medication side-effects, highlighting the increasing challenge of managing an ageing CF population.| Reference Key |
