The most common side effect of fludrocortisone is hypertension, or high blood pressure. This occurs because fludrocortisone is a mineralocorticoid that helps regulate sodium and water balance, potentially leading to fluid retention and increased blood pressure. Other common side effects may include edema (swelling due to fluid retention) and electrolyte imbalances.
