Not particularly: If you were on therapeutic levels of oral steroid pills it might be enough to suppress your immune system. Inhaled steroids provide the asthma control at the site of need (lung tissues) where it is broken down. The effect of routine doses on your immune system is not significant. To reduce the chance you ingest any of the dose, wash out your mouth with water after dosing & spit out the material.
