do allergy steroid nasal sprays enhance sports performance?
So I have some moderate allergies, that get better if I take some Claritin (Loratadine) and Rhinocourt Aqua prescription nasal corticosteroid spray (budesonide). I'm not so good at sports, but am training to get better. Today, my allergies seemed annoying so I took a dose of spray + Claritin, and felt better, I also seemed to be able to run better. Do allergy steroids enhance sports performance? Or is this just a normal training effect. If the spray gives me even a slight advantage, I'd like to stop it immediately. But also want to continue to use it because it helps my allergies.
Yes, I do know that they are "legal" but do they give me an advantage?
