吸入型類固醇(Inhaled corticosteroids)常被用於長期控制氣喘或慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)。這類藥物直接作用於呼吸道黏膜,若使用後未徹底清潔口腔,藥物殘留會抑制局部免疫反應,大幅增加口腔念珠菌感染(鵝口瘡,Oral candidiasis)的風險。漱口並吐出是臨床公認最有效的預防策略。
Inhaled corticosteroids are commonly used for long-term control of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These medications act directly on the airway mucosa; if the mouth is not thoroughly cleansed after use, residual medication suppresses the local immune response and significantly increases the risk of oral candidiasis (thrush). Rinsing the mouth and spitting out the water is the clinically recognized, most effective preventive strategy.
