Deflazacort 6 mg tablet
What is Deflazacort used for?
Deflazacort is a steroid that reduces inflammation in the body. Deflazacort is used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy in adults and children who are at least 5 years old. Deflazacort is not a cure for muscular dystrophy, but this medicine may improve muscle strength and slow the progression of disability.

How much of it to take
This catalogue does not carry dosing information. How much to take, and how often, depends on you — your age, weight, kidney function and the other medicines you are on — so it comes from your prescription or your doctor, not from here.
Before you switch to a cheaper version
These products have the same composition, strength and dose form. Prices vary by brand and pharmacy — confirm cost and suitability with your doctor or pharmacist before switching.
Two cautions worth carrying into that conversation. A modified-release product (marked SR, XR, CR or ER) is not interchangeable with a plain one of the same strength. And for a small group of medicines with a narrow safe range — warfarin, thyroxine, phenytoin, lithium, some immunosuppressants — staying on one brand is the safer default, and any change should be monitored.
