It is necessary because the steroid content of preventer inhalers can cause thrush to develop in your mouth. This is easily treated if you do get it, but it is better to avoid it if possible. I gargle, clean teeth and then gargle again after I have used my steroid preventer inhaler.

Merry Christmas to you:-)!

Thrush or Candida if mouth or throat is more likely to occur if you're in higher doses.
