do inhalers cause thrush
Thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth, on the tongue, and in the throat caused by th e candida fungus. Candida fungus is present in the mouth in small amounts â naturally. But when the candida balance is thrown out of kilter â thrush occurs. Asthma inhalers can cause thrush â particularly those that are corticosteroid inhalers. This is because most of the drug ends up in your throat on its way to the lungs. Itâs important to use the spacer that comes with the inhaler as this will help reduce the risk of developing thrush.
