Defcort 24 Tablet contains deflazacort (24 mg) which works on your body in the following ways:

• Mimics Natural Hormones: Deflazacort acts like the hormones that are naturally produced in your adrenal glands. It enters your body's cells and binds to specific receptors, triggering anti-inflammatory responses.

• Reduces Inflammation: Deflazacort suppresses your immune system and reduces inflammation by blocking the production of certain inflammatory substances in your body, such as interleukins and TNF-alpha.

• Stabilises Cell Membranes: The medicine stabilises the membranes of lysosomes, which are tiny sacs within cells that break down substances. This action helps to reduce inflammation at the cellular level.

• If you're managing an autoimmune disease or rheumatoid arthritis with Defcort 24 Tablet, consider maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish like salmon and tuna. These can help reduce inflammation.
