How to use
Take DEFLAZACORT exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once daily in the morning with or after food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless advised. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it's almost time for the next dose. Never double the dose. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly, as the dose needs to be reduced gradually. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration.
How it works
DEFLAZACORT is a corticosteroid that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins and leukotrienes) in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling. It suppresses the immune system's overactive response that causes tissue damage in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. By reducing inflammation, it helps relieve symptoms and prevents further damage to affected organs and tissues. It also stabilizes cell membranes and prevents the release of harmful substances that contribute to inflammation.

Alcohol: Limit alcohol consumption as it may increase the risk of stomach problems and bone weakness. Kidney/Liver: Use with caution; inform your doctor about any kidney or liver problems. Dose adjustment may be needed. Driving: May cause dizziness or vision problems in some patients; avoid driving if affected. Other precautions: Inform your doctor about diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, tuberculosis, or any infections. Avoid contact with people having chickenpox or measles.
