The correct answer is: Mouth ulcers/stomatitis

Everolimus is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called mTOR inhibitors. One of the common adverse effects of Everolimus is mouth ulcers or stomatitis. Stomatitis refers to inflammation of the mucous lining of the mouth which can cause painful sores or ulcers in the mouth. This side effect often presents as mouth pain, redness, or sores in the oral cavity. It is essential for healthcare professionals to monitor patients taking Everolimus for the development of mouth ulcers and provide appropriate management to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications. Anemia, hair loss, and increased urination are not common adverse effects associated with Everolimus.
