All of the following are recognized side effects of lisinopril EXCEPT:

  1. Dry, persistent cough
  2. Angioedema
  3. Maculopapular rash
  4. Hyperkalemia
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Maculopapular rash

Cough (from bradykinin accumulation in the airway), angioedema (a potentially life-threatening bradykinin-mediated reaction), and hyperkalemia (from reduced aldosterone) are all hallmark, well-documented ACE inhibitor effects. A rash is comparatively less characteristic/common, making it the 'except' answer here.
