Which of the following is not a common adverse effect of inhaled corticosteroids?

  1. Oral fungal infections

  2. Dry mouth

  3. High blood sugar

  4. Coughing

The correct answer is: High blood sugar

Inhaled corticosteroids are commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While they are generally well-tolerated, they can cause side effects in some people. Common side effects include oral fungal infections and coughing. Dry mouth can also occur, but it is not one of the most common side effects. High blood sugar is not a common adverse effect of inhaled corticosteroids and may be a sign of an allergic reaction or underlying medical condition. Therefore, option C is not a common adverse effect of inhaled corticosteroids compared to the other options listed.
