Side Effects and Interactions

Yeast infections (Candida albicans) can occur within the mouth and throat. It is important to have regular exams to rule out such an infection.

Other side effects may include dry mouth and throat, coughing, irritation of the throat, wheezing, rash, and hoarseness.

Rinsing the mouth with water after inhalation might reduce the risk of hoarseness and dry mouth.

Swelling of the face may suggest systemic absorption of a corticosteroid and should be reported promptly to a physician.

Other signs of corticosteroid absorption include cataracts and glaucoma. Report any symptoms to your physician promptly.
