Accidentally swallowed symbicort. rinsed and garlged afterwards but now i'm getting anxious about it?

No worry: Absorption through the GI tract is very low and the total amount in two puffs compares with only a fraction of what your body makes every day

Mgt: It should be alright. If you notice any white patches, treatment for thrush can be prescribed. Please rinse after the use of your inhaler. A virtual inbox consult to review your asthma plan may be booked online.
