Inhaled Corticosteroids

[retropunk]

I saw an abstract of a journal article stating a very small percentage of alopecia for inhaled corticosteroids in young children while treating for asthma. Anyone see a similar study on this with adults?

I took fluticasone for several months and started to feel abdominal pain and nausea. During this time I also noticed some hairloss, and while I'm hesitated to say fluticasone contributed to my hairloss, this abstract did tweak my interest.

I found another comment on baldingblog with a guy using nasonex. Dr. Rassman stated that there's a possiblity that the hairloss could be caused by the nasal spray.

I'm seeing quite a bit of regrowth coming back in my hairline and forelock. Most of the hair is still tiny/short, but the fact that I see hair coming back gives me some hope that it's not male pattern baldness.

see this might explain why i started so young with asthma and all i was one puffers since 5 and nasonex since i was 8 so hmm, they should put some kinda warning eh. if i would no it could help me start balding sooner...
