Description

  • The Deflazacort Tablets provide relief for various conditions such as anaphylaxis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, nephrotic syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and more. The tablets work by inhibiting Phospholipase A2 enzyme, reducing the release of certain immune system chemicals, and providing anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. They are available in adult and children's doses, and come with precautions for special populations such as those with hepatic or renal impairments, and the elderly. The tablets belong to the therapeutic class of glucocorticoids and should be stored in a cool, dry place.
