Q & A
-
When using symbicort 160/4.5, on a dog, how is thrush addressed??
-
Currently, there are no available case study reports on pets diagnosed with oral candidiasis (commonly known as thrush) after undergoing inhaled steroid treatment. This is due to the inclusion of spacers in the administration technique. Spacers reduce the amount of drug that is deposited on the oropharynx (meaning more drug in the lungs), thereby substantially reducing local adverse reactions such as thrush. If you suspect your pet is having complications from this medication, please consult your veterinarian.
