Defcort 30 Tablet contains one active ingredient deflazacort (30 mg). Here's how it acts inside your body:

• Binds with Glucocorticoid Receptors: Deflazacort binds to glucocorticoid receptors inside cells which stimulates the synthesis of anti-inflammatory proteins.

• Inhibits Pro-Inflammatory Substances: By binding with these receptors, it effectively inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory substances like prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

• Reduces Immune System Activity: Deflazacort suppresses the immune system by reducing the activity and volume of lymphocytes.

Each of these actions contributes to the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of Defcort 30 Tablet, providing relief from symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease.
