Dc-20 - Deflazacort

The DC-16 - Deflazacort works by preventing or reducing inflammation. It is used to treat a number of conditions that are characterised by excessive inflammation. Deflazacort suppresses the immune system and so can be used to treat autoimmune diseases. Deflazacort can help to prevent and to treat the rejection of transplantedorgans. It can also be used in the treatment of certain types of cancers. People who take corticosteroids for a long period of time are prone to infections as their immune system can become weak. These infections may be much more severe than they usually would be and the symptoms that would usually be used to identify such infections can be hidden. For this reason people who take Deflazacort must be careful to avoid exposure to infections such as chickenpox and measles whenever possible. If you have been exposed to chickenpox or measles, you must get immediate medical advice. You should continue to take your medicine unless your prescriber advises you to stop taking it.
