Perhaps you mean if both were applied the same way. I think most people who have tried both (topical steroid sprays and oral prednisone-type steroid tablets), have had much better results with the latter.
Of course, the problem with the latter is--you cannot use them long-term, without serious negative consequences, while the sprays are used long-term. But the oral steroids are more effective.

I used it for a long time.

OK so I went to an allergist and was diagnosed with being allergic to Cats (which was obvious) and mold. Mold is everywhere, especially the stuff they tested for which is what you would find in grass.
I was prescribed Flonase and would like to know what you all think of this drug?
I am also wondering how this drug works, I checked the website and it basically says nothing about it.
Thanks,
Steve
