Severe side effects such as adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, and cataract formation are reported less frequently than with systemic corticosteroids, but clinicians should monitor patients receiving high-dose chronic inhaled therapy. 

Salbutamol is a selective beta2-receptor agonist indicated in the management of asthma as a bronchodilator relieving acute attacks. It may be used in combination with inhaled corticosteroids such as beclometasone. Salbutamol acts within a few minutes and tends to be short-acting, unlike salmeterol. Side-effects of salbutamol include tachycardia and palpitations. It does not cause drowsiness and does not precipitate oral candidiasis. Inhaled corticosteroids may precipitate oral candidiasis.

Nystatin (Mycostatin) is a polyene antifungal drug with a ring structure similar to that of amphotericin B and a mechanism of action identical to that of amphotericin B. Too toxic for systemic use, nystatin is limited to the topical treatment of superficial infections caused by C albicans. Infections commonly treated by this drug include oral candidiasis (thrush), mild esophageal candidiasis, and vaginitis.
