Eticort 6 Tablet 6 contains Deflazacort 6 mg, a steroid medicine. It works in a few ways:

• It blocks the body chemicals that cause inflammation, easing swelling, redness and pain.
• It suppresses an overactive immune system, which helps in conditions where the body attacks its own tissues.
• Together, these actions reduce inflammation in different parts of the body.

• Store Eticort 6 Tablet 6 below 30°C, in a dry place away from light and moisture.
• Keep it out of the reach of children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date printed on the pack.
• Return any unused or expired medicine to your pharmacist for safe disposal.

• Maintain bone health. This medicine can weaken bones over time, so include calcium and vitamin D (such as dairy or fortified foods) in your diet and do regular weight-bearing exercise such as walking.
• Monitor your weight and blood sugar levels. It can increase appetite and raise blood sugar levels, so follow a balanced diet and limit sugary and very salty foods.
• Try to avoid people with infections, and tell your doctor promptly if you develop a fever, signs of infection, or feel unwell, as this medicine may reduce your body's ability to fight infections.
