Yes the fluticasone in the inhaler is a steroid. However it is thought that the inhaled steroid acts only locally in the lungs and bronchi and will not have much of a systemic effect. This is different from taking steroids orally or intravenously when they will have pronounced systemic effects such as weight gain and adrenal suppression.
