CompositionAscort 30 Mg Tablet 10 is used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a progressive muscle-weakening condition, where it helps reduce inflammation and support muscle function.
It is also used for inflammatory and allergic conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, and to calm an overactive immune system. It contains deflazacort, a corticosteroid.
Getting enough calcium and vitamin D, doing weight-bearing activity and eating a balanced diet help protect the bones, as long-term steroids can weaken them.
Before starting, tell your doctor about any infections, diabetes, high blood pressure or stomach ulcers, and about all other medicines you take. Avoid contact with chickenpox or measles if you have not had them before. Report signs of infection, mood changes or severe stomach pain.
