What Are The Side Effects Of Asmanex?

I have been on a corticosteroid, Asmanex for asthma and I feel like my palatal rugae are becoming denuded, wearing smooth and it hurts, could it be the side effect of Asmanex? I have pharangitis as a result of it, so have discontinued. Thank you for your time!

Continuous use of Asmanex can cause fungal infection and irritation of mucosal lining of mouth. Probably that`s what is happening with you. You must rinse your mouth and gargle your throat after every use of asmanex.
