A very close family member, whose health is my utmost concern, was recently rxed inhaler and the Flonase. Not sure about the albuterol but Flonase is a corticosteroid. Are either of these a concern for the immune system?
This was rxed to a family member and I prefer natural treatments. I just wanted u guys opinion. I would never try to talk anyone out of their meds, ever. I know pharma is absolutely necessary at times.
I would just like to be informed about these meds as I am not familiar with them. For awareness.
Thanks in advance

Yes, Flonase and Nasacort are basically the same medication. I told my story about when I was told to use these sprays daily.
The package insert said to stay away from people with measles and other sick people.
So, although this may not happen to everyone, it CAN happen to some people. I would use these sprays for as short a time as possible. Maybe 2 weeks would be OK, but definitely not indefinitely like I was told to do.

thanks TF. I don't think the Flonase is a necessity in this case. so ,perhaps we can eliminate that shortly.
appreciate the info.
