A member asked:
Can using of strong steroid cream(clobetasol) for 10 days reduce rabies antibody one month after 2 rabies booster(5 shot ayear ago too) why yes or n?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, : The amount of steroid that is absorbed into the blood stream from topical application is insufficient to affect your immune status to an immunization. High dose oral steroids for a prolonged period would likely stunt the response.
