Dezacor 6mg

• Dezacor 6mg Tablet is a medication containing deflazacort, a glucocorticoid with potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
• It is primarily used to manage various conditions characterized by inflammation and overactive immune responses.

Uses:

• Inflammatory Conditions: Effective in treating conditions such as asthma, arthritis, and allergies by reducing inflammation and associated symptoms.
• Autoimmune Disorders: Helps manage diseases where the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and polymyalgia rheumatica.
• Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): Prescribed to slow the progression of muscle weakness in DMD patients.
• Organ Transplantation: Utilized to prevent organ rejection by suppressing the immune response.

Mechanism of Action: Deflazacort works by inhibiting the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It modulates the immune system’s activity, thereby reducing inflammation and preventing tissue damage.
