A member asked:
Can fluticasone propionate nasal spray cause weight gain ? i've seen people report it since it's a steroid , is it possible??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rare: This would be a very rare side effect, and only rarely seen after taking it for a very long time. This is because the steroid acts locally in the nose and the sinuses and is not absorbed by the bloodstream
