    My dad has developed Thrush. The ER doctor feels it is from the Zelboraf. Has anyone else developed it and any if so how quickly has it healed or is it an on going issue while he is on the "Z"(as my dad calls it.)

      Are you on a steroid as well? My thrush was caused by my dexamethasone.

      My husband has had thrush in his mouth for weeks now. He has been on two different types of meds to clear it up however neither one has worked. Besides being on 3 doses of Z am and pm he is on 10 mg Prednisone. We suspect the Prednisone may be causing the thrush.
