For Asthma, Maintenance "I had been on Qvar for a couple of years. I didn’t realize for a while, but when the inhaler changed to the RediHaler, my health went downhill. My thyroid was affected, and I ended up with adrenal fatigue as well. No appetite, and after 9 months, I was dropping weight fast. What finally clicked was my super, super dry mouth-thrush. I started researching and found that the RediHaler can have side effects, but they are rare. The day after I stopped this medication, my appetite was back. 2 1/2 months later, my energy is slowly getting back to normal, but I need to rest a lot."

"My doctor added Qvar to my treatment for COPD. I was wary about using it because of oral thrush. Put it off for a month as I was finishing up tooth implants. Went to it. Rinsed, spit, gargle, spit. Never swallowed. After 10 days, I got thrush in my mouth and throat. I went on treatment and also developed a really bad, deep, loud non-productive cough. I was given antibiotics and prednisone. I got better and then worse. Back on prednisone and hopefully it will do the trick."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Second time in the year with oral thrush. The RediHaler sucks. Have been using Qvar since its inception in the market. Not a single episode of thrush with the other packaging (a mere, simple, all-known pump). And the worst is that the pump presentation was completely substituted by the RediHaler. The product goes into all your mouth crevices. Terrible presentation. At this pace, I could have 4 episodes of thrush yearly, and there is no other option but the RediHaler. As indicated in the package, I rinse my mouth."
