Why does flonase cause thrush?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It shouldn't: Flonase on the nose should not cause thrush if used as recommended. Flovent may cause thrush especially if one does not gargle and rinse off the cortisone after spraying. The reason? Cortisone increases the sugar level at the throat making one disposed to have yeast overgrowth.

Flonase: Thrush may occur with inhaled fluticasone . As stated earlier that has to do with sugar effects of steroid. Please rinse your mouth after using your inhaler to lower the risk of thrush. REF: https://www.healthline.com/health/fluticasone-side-effects#side-effects
