Defcicot Suspension 30ml is used mainly to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in children and adults, where it helps slow the progression of muscle weakness. It is also used in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, sarcoidosis and certain cancers.
It contains deflazacort, a corticosteroid. Measure and give the suspension accurately as prescribed, usually with food. Do not stop it suddenly, especially after longer use, as the dose must be reduced gradually.
A balanced diet with enough calcium and vitamin D, weight-bearing activity where possible and protecting against infections support health alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any infection, diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers or osteoporosis before starting, and about other medicines. Report signs of infection (fever, chills), marked mood changes, unusual weight gain or severe stomach pain.
