Why do they tell you to drink water after using the qvar inhaler?

Qvar: Qvar inhaler contains a mild steroid for treatment of asthma. Because the medicine can cause oral thrush and even hoarseness, it is important to rinse your mouth or drink water after each use.

See below: Patients are supposed to rinse their mouth after using any inhaled steroid to hopefully prevent thrush (yeast infection). The steroid can contribute to causing the fungus to over grow, thus causing thrush.
