Which of the following is NOT an adverse effect of Tacrolimus?

  1. Increased risk of lymphoma

  2. Hyperlipidemia

  3. Gingival hyperplasia

  4. Increased blood glucose

The correct answer is: Gingival hyperplasia

While an increased risk of lymphoma, hyperlipidemia, and increased blood glucose are all potential adverse effects of Tacrolimus, gingival hyperplasia is not. This condition, characterized by overgrowth of gum tissue, is associated with some other medications, but has not been reported as a side effect of Tacrolimus. Therefore, it is the only option listed that is not a potential adverse effect of the drug.
