Deflazacort 6mg per 5mL
Deflazacort is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. It works by reducing the activity of the immune system and blocking the production of inflammatory chemicals (prostaglandins, leukotrienes). Compared to prednisolone, Deflazacort causes less calcium loss from bones and less weight gain — making it a better-tolerated steroid for longer use. The liquid suspension form is designed for paediatric patients requiring precise dosing.
Allergic and inflammatory conditions in children — bronchial asthma exacerbations, severe allergic reactions, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory skin conditions, and nephrotic syndrome.
Take as prescribed by your doctor or healthcare professional. Do not self-medicate.
The preferred corticosteroid suspension for paediatric conditions requiring steroid therapy — Deflazacort's lower side-effect profile makes it a better choice than prednisolone suspension for courses lasting more than a few days.
