Nasal corticosteroids contain hormones. Can I use them?

Intranasal corticosteroids are a first-line treatment for allergic rhinitis, and at recommended doses, very little is absorbed into the body. Whether they are right for you and how long to use them is decided by a doctor based on your condition. It is not recommended to refuse standard treatment because you are worried about "hormones," and it is also not recommended to use them long-term on your own without a doctor's instructions.
