A member asked:

What happen if i use a expired symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) turbohaler by accident. does it cause thrush?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OK to use: Always rinse after use to reduce risk of thrush. The inhaler will continue to be effective for years after the exp. date, with a slow decay in potency.
