A member asked:
I take qvar 2 months now. i experience numbness face swelling and throat closing when consuming alcohol. could this be an allergy to the medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Although QVar can cause oropharyngeal candidiasis (yeast infection), it would not cause these symptoms which are solely triggered by alcohol. If you have these symptoms no matter what kind of alcohol you consume, then avoid alcohol altogether . If you have these symptoms only with wine and beer, then consider sulfite sensitivity. Post.
