Deflasig 12 10'S

About

Deflasig 12 contains Deflazacort, a synthetic corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. It is widely used in the management of a broad spectrum of conditions, including various inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, severe allergic reactions, and certain types of cancer. Its mechanism of action involves modulating the immune system and reducing the production of inflammatory mediators, thereby effectively alleviating symptoms such as swelling, pain, redness, and itching. Deflazacort is often preferred over some other corticosteroids due to its potentially more favorable side effect profile concerning bone density and glucose metabolism, although careful monitoring for adverse effects remains essential. It plays a crucial role in managing chronic conditions that necessitate long-term corticosteroid therapy, helping to control disease progression and improve patient quality of life by suppressing unwanted immune responses and inflammation.
