Defcort Oral Suspension is used to manage a wide range of inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune conditions in children, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), severe asthma, and joint disorders. It contains Deflazacort, a corticosteroid that works by suppressing the release of inflammatory chemicals and modulating the body's immune response. By reducing systemic inflammation, this medicine helps improve muscle strength in DMD patients and controls acute flare-ups in respiratory or allergic conditions.
The dosage of this suspension is strictly determined by the pediatrician based on the child’s age, weight, and the severity of the condition. It should be taken with food to minimize the risk of stomach upset. It is critical never to stop this medication abruptly, as sudden withdrawal can lead to serious side effects; the doctor will provide a tapering schedule to gradually reduce the dose. Regular monitoring of growth and bone density may be required during long-term therapy, and the doctor should be informed of any underlying liver disease.
