CompositionDefsix 6 Mg Tablet 10 is used to manage a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, including certain types of arthritis, asthma, severe allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and skin and eye disorders. It is also used after organ transplants to help prevent the body from rejecting the new organ.
It contains deflazacort, a corticosteroid. Take it exactly as prescribed, usually with food or milk to reduce stomach upset, as the dose depends on the condition being treated. Continue taking it as prescribed and do not stop suddenly, as the dose often needs to be reduced gradually.
Certain lifestyle steps can support safer use of this medicine. These include eating a balanced diet low in salt and added sugar, getting enough calcium and vitamin D to protect bone health, and doing regular weight-bearing exercise. Avoid contact with people who have chickenpox or measles if you have not had them before, as steroids can weaken the immune response.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, or mental health concerns, or are taking other medicines. Long-term use can affect blood sugar, bone strength, and blood pressure, so regular check-ups are important. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
