Answer 1

Thrush is a common infection caused by a yeast, Candida albicans, which lives harmlessly on the skin, in the mouth, gut or vagina. Normally, bacteria and our immune system keep it under control, but if the balance is upset, the yeast proliferates.

Obvious precautionary steps include rinsing your mouth after using inhaled steroids for asthma, and avoiding unnecessary antibiotics; if antibiotics have to be taken repeatedly, consider eating live yogurts or preparations containing the same sort of micro-organisms.

Two main classes of drugs have been found to be effective in preventing OPC: azoles and polyenes. The azoles include fluconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, itraconazole, and clotrimazole; all have been found effective in preventing attacks of OPC in susceptible individuals. Two polyenes - amphotericin B and nystatin - have been proved effective in preventing OPC in people with damaged immune systems. In general, the azoles are somewhat more effective than the polyenes.

These medicines may be taken as tablets, capsules, lozenges, or suspensions. Another chemical, chlorhexidine, can be used as an oral rinse. Normally taken daily, azoles may sometimes be taken once-weekly. Weekly use is only slightly less effective in preventing attacks of OPC, and is obviously a more convenient regime.

Side effects of these drugs are not a problem. About 5% of patients report occasional abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or a rash.

This can be treated effectively with medicines that are prescribed by your doctor. Also, these medicines can be used to prevent the occurrence of OPC in patients at high risk, given daily or once-weekly.
