Deflazacort is commonly used in the treatment of rheumatoid, arthritis, auto-immune disease, and other illnesses. The active ingredient falls under the class of drugs called corticosteroids (steroids). They block the release of certain chemicals in the body which are responsible for inflammation. The steroid shoots up the level of glucocorticoid in the body and works by reducing the formation of substances that cause inflammation and suppresses immunity to stop self-destructing the body’s immune system (auto-immune reactions occurring in organ transplants or cancer). Thus, deflazacort is useful in the treatment of many diseases. The tablets can be taken after meals or on empty stomach. Deflazacort should be swallowed whole with water. It shouldn’t be chewed or crushed. The dosage should be prescribed by your doctor.

The deflazacort tablets should be taken at the same time to maintain a constant level of medication in the body. Avoid skipping the dose or doubling it more than the prescribed amount. Stay regular, to see the maximum results in a short duration of time. As this medicine lowers immunity it might make you susceptible to many allergies and infections. Stay alert and rush to your doctor for any visible signs of infection or fever. Deflazacort tablets can have many side effects depending on age, lifestyle, and other risk factors. Consult your doctor to know if you are allergic to deflazacort, the doctor can prescribe you an alternate or lower your dose. Do not take this medicine without consultation from Doctor.
