A member asked:

Can peroxyl affect tendency to get thrush?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Anything that upsets the normal oral bacterial flora that "live"in the mouth can lead to thrush. Rinsing with full strength hydrogen peroxide can do this. Peroxyl is an oral rinse that is 1.5% hydrogen peroxide so although unlikely it is certainly possible.
