Steroid Nasal Spray and Hair Loss

Dear Dr. Rassman:
I’m confused about steroid-based medications and hair loss. My ENT recently prescribed me a steroid cortasone nasal spray for chronic rhinitis. Can this potentially have adverse side
effect on my already progressing MPB?
Thanks

Yes, steroids can produce accelerated MPB. When using the steroids through a nasal spray, body absorption is as good as any other route. Sounds like you need to have a conversation with your otolaryngologist (ENT).
