Deflaza Tablet 24 mg contains Deflazacort 24 mg, a synthetic corticosteroid belonging to the glucocorticoid class, widely used to reduce inflammation and suppress overactive immune responses. Deflazacort provides potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, making it suitable for a variety of acute and chronic conditions where controlling inflammation is essential.

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or infection, but when uncontrolled, it can lead to tissue damage and chronic disease. Deflaza Tablet 24 mg works by modulating the immune system and suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators, providing relief from pain, swelling, redness, and discomfort. Its formulation is designed for precise dosing, enabling effective management of inflammatory conditions while minimizing corticosteroid-associated side effects.

Deflazacort is often preferred over other corticosteroids for long-term therapy due to a relatively lower risk of weight gain, fluid retention, and metabolic disturbances. It is suitable for adults and pediatric patients, including those with muscular dystrophy, autoimmune disorders, and severe allergic conditions.

Indications

Deflaza Tablet 24 mg is indicated for:

• Chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and bursitis

• Autoimmune disorders including lupus, polymyositis, and dermatomyositis

• Allergic reactions and severe asthma exacerbations

• Duchenne muscular dystrophy to improve muscle strength and slow disease progression

• Acute flare-ups of chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases

Key Benefits

• Provides potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive action

• Reduces pain, swelling, redness, and other inflammatory symptoms

• Supports muscle function in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

• Suitable for both acute and chronic conditions

• Lower risk of certain corticosteroid-associated side effects compared to other glucocorticoids

Mechanism of Action

Deflazacort binds to glucocorticoid receptors in target cells, regulating gene expression to produce anti-inflammatory proteins while suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines. This dual effect reduces the activity of immune cells, controlling inflammation and limiting tissue damage. Additionally, it helps manage immune-mediated diseases by modulating abnormal immune responses.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Deflaza Tablet 24 mg should be individualized according to the patient’s condition, severity of disease, and clinical response.

• Tablets should be taken orally with water, with or without food, preferably at the same time each day.

• For chronic conditions, use the lowest effective dose to minimize side effects.

• In acute or severe cases, higher doses may be prescribed for short-term use.

• Gradual dose tapering is recommended when discontinuing therapy to prevent withdrawal symptoms and adrenal insufficiency.

Precautions

• Monitor for infections during long-term therapy, as immune suppression can increase susceptibility.

• Use cautiously in patients with diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, or gastrointestinal disorders.

• Regular medical check-ups are recommended to monitor blood pressure, blood sugar, and bone health.

• Avoid abrupt discontinuation without consulting a healthcare provider.

• Inform the physician about all concomitant medications to prevent potential drug interactions.
