Answers:
Any steriod that is absorbed by the body will trigger a hormonal response. Its exactly what they are meant to do - Trigger a response. Yes they may be targeted at a certain area, but the body will absorb them and metabolise themas a steroid, which will cause a hormonal response.

Speak to a pharmacist about contra indications of a medication and possible side affects and interactions with other problems.

If a pharmacist cant answer then go for the doctor. Or goto the company that manufacture the drug and look at their online information about the drug.Health Question & Answer

No.The nose spray/other corticosteroids inhalations in small doses will not have an effect on your hormone levels. The whole point of the steroid inhalations and sprays is that they target the actual area, rather then absorbing into the rest of the body. This of course, reduces side effects to the rest of the body.Health Question & Answer

In a word no. Health Question & Answer
