Susan, I have read what you have written about this in the past. Just to
point out, as I'm sure you are aware, that most doctors do not agree with
your assessment (of nasal steroid sprays), and say that there is very little
systemic absorption, and they have no systemic effect. I don't want to argue
with you about it (and I'm no expert on it), just pointing out that your
opinion on that subject, is different from the one held by most medical
professionals.
That said--the newest nasal spray, which I have mentioned, Omnaris
(ciclesonide) has been tested to have far less systemic absorption than the
other nasal and inhaled steroids. (It does not have benzalkonium in it
either.) Do a Google search for ciclesonide, and you should see some test
results.
