Does Symbicort Cause Side Effects?

I use Symbicort everyday. About the same time I switched from Advair I developed anal itching. I went to the Doc and he said it's yeast. He gave me fluconazole and said to use lotrimin. I think it made it worse and I have diarrhea. Do you think I should get off the Symbicort?

The main problem mentioned in your question is about diarrhea. Out of medications listed Fluconazole is known to cause diarrahea. Symbicort as such is given by inhaler it is less likely to cause diarrhea. You must continue to take symbicort but on the other hand the fungal infection around the anus should be managed separately.
