For Asthma, Maintenance "This is a miracle product. I’ve been using it for 20 years now. I don’t know what people did before this. My chest is so tight and stiff if I don’t take it. Thrush is the only side effect, though. After I take the medicine and wait a certain amount of time, I don’t remember exactly how long you’re supposed to wait. But then, the first thing I drink is unsweetened cranberry juice and water because this washes the medicine away without feeding the thrush Candida/yeast. This is a side effect possible. But sugar feeds the thrush. So that’s why I drink cranberry unsweetened with water that will discourage the thrush and irrigate your digestive tract so it cannot grow."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Works well for me, although it has caused oral thrush at times, even after rinsing my mouth after taking."

For Asthma, Maintenance "It works as quickly as most steroids I have used, but it starts to cause oral thrush after a few days even though I gargle, rinse my mouth, and brush my teeth and tongue after each of the twice-a-day uses. My doctor added an aerochamber spacer to help with this problem, but the thrush returns after approximately ten days instead of three. At that time, I have to start using Nystatin oral rinse to kill the thrush. I wish there were a better way!"
