Is corticosteroid nasal ok?

Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM and thank you for your query.
Nasal corticosteroids act locally and there is negligible systemic absorption.
There is no interaction with your other medication.
So you can use it in the recommended dose.
Wish you a good day and good health
