When i was on advair i never got oral thrush now on dulera (formoterol and mometasone) i been getting it . ain't they both steriods ? does dulera (formoterol and mometasone) cause it more?

Dulera (formoterol and mometasone) & Thrush: Advair & Dulera (formoterol and mometasone) both contain a steroid; but the specific steroid is different. Dulera (formoterol and mometasone) is usually only used once a day. Are you using it more often than that? If Yes, that could be related to developing thrush. When on Advair, did you use it everyday or only sporadically? Are you sure that the problem in the mouth is oral thrush? See your doctor for an exam if this is not clear.

Different: The difference may be related to the way the medication is delivered as well as the dose. The higher the dose ,the more likely the chance for yeast infection. The more steroid deposited at the throat (stronger spray) the more likely will have throat problem. If Dulera (formoterol and mometasone) causes you problem, you need to go back to what works for you.
