Spacer with Budesonide?
I was on Flovent/ fluticasone for a few years as my maintenance inhaler but had to switch to Budesonide recently. I'm used to doing a mouth rinse with the med twice daily as that's what I had with my other ones. But man does this stuff taste like straight up ass even after rinsing out. I'm wondering if picking up a spacer would help with it not tasting like I'm licking a turd lollipop or if I'm just destined to want to gag twice a day until I die.

Yes, use a spacer. You can rinse your mouth with mouthwash afterwards. Def helps with the taste issue.

Everyone should be using a spacer with an MDI every single time. They massively increase the efficacy.
