Pharmacology
Deflazacort is a synthetic corticosteroid that modulates the immune response by reducing inflammation and suppressing overactive immune system activity. It minimizes the release of inflammatory mediators, thus controlling symptoms effectively while being less likely to cause certain side effects compared to other corticosteroids.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage depends on the severity of the condition and individual response.
Common dose: 6 mg once daily or as directed by a physician.
Should be taken with or after food to reduce gastrointestinal irritation.

Interaction

May enhance the effect of blood sugar-lowering medications.
Risk of increased side effects with NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen).
Reduced efficacy when taken with enzyme-inducing drugs like rifampin or phenytoin.

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to Deflazacort or other corticosteroids.
Systemic fungal infections.

Side Effects

Common: Increased appetite, weight gain, upset stomach.
Rare: Osteoporosis, glaucoma, delayed wound healing.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Use during pregnancy only if absolutely necessary and under medical supervision.
Caution advised during breastfeeding as corticosteroids can pass into breast milk.

Precautions & Warnings

Long-term use should be monitored to prevent adrenal suppression and other side effects.
Avoid abrupt discontinuation; dosage should be tapered gradually.
Use with caution in patients with diabetes, hypertension, or osteoporosis.
