Dear Doctor, I have a chronic case of pressitent allergies due to dust, my doctor after a 5 day couse of Azithromycin has prescribed me Defcort; Singulair, Ebast and Nasonex drops. I am a pharmacist myself and do relasie that defcort is a steroid and so is the Nasonex.Pls can you let me know is it safe to take the steroids as prescribed?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Alone is a topical steroid that is sprayed into the nasal passages to reduce symptoms of allergic sinusitis and rhinitis. There is little systemic absorption. It is one of many topical sprays that is used for sometimes long periods of time to help with these symptoms, so you can safely use it. Defcort is also a steroid. Short courses of oral steroids are sometimes used in severe allergies. There would not be any significant interaction between the two agents. You can consider using as prescribed. I hope this helps
