How It Works?

Deflazacort is metabolized to its active form in the body that can bind to the glucocorticoid receptors. This changes the expression of various genes involved in inflammatory and immune responses.

Consequently this can have the effect of decreasing pro-inflammatory mediator production and immune cell activity. This is to help manage inflammation and overactive immune responses in situations where it’s right to take systemic steroids.

Important Precautions

• It is important to always use deflazacort only when supervised by a medical practitioner. Corticosteroids may lead to depression of the HPA axis and should not be suddenly discontinued without specific medical instructions.
• Long-term and high-dose corticosteroid use can raise the risk of getting an infection and might impact blood glucose, blood pressure, bone health, eyes, and adrenal function. The label also contains a warning regarding endocrine effects accompanied by a precaution regarding immunosuppression, gastrointestinal effects, and ophthalmic effects.
• If a patient is diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, infections, glaucoma, peptic ulcer disease, or any other major medical condition, they should speak to their doctor about it. They, among others, should also let everyone know about any medications or vaccines.
• Side effects include (in some instances) an increase of appetite, indigestion, mood changes, sleep disturbance, fluid retention, and elevation of blood glucose, depending on the dosage and duration.
