A member asked:
Does flonase contain anabolic steroid & causes hairyness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Flonase contains fluticasone which is a cortisone-like steroid, not an anabolic steroid, and is not converted into Anabolic steroids in the body. If you have developed hirsutism on this medication, talk to the prescribing health care provider.
