A member asked:
Do nasal steroids such as nasonex (mometasone) absorb systemically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But when used as prescribed, the amount absorbed is very minute and exerts practically no biologic effect outside of the nose. It was suspected to lead to cataracts but this has not been proven.
