Description
Indications
Deflazacort is prescribed for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a progressive condition characterized by impaired muscle function, in both adults and children aged 2 years and older. Classified as a corticosteroid, deflazacort operates by mitigating inflammation (swelling) and altering the functioning of the immune system.
Uses and Dosage
Deflazacort is available in tablet and suspension (liquid) forms for oral administration. Typically, it is taken once a day, with or without food, at the same time each day.
Take deflazacort precisely as directed by your doctor, and avoid taking more or less than prescribed, or increasing the frequency without your doctor’s guidance.
If you find it difficult to swallow the tablet whole, you may crush it and mix it with applesauce. Consume the mixture immediately. Shake the suspension well before each use to ensure even distribution of the medication. Use the provided measuring device to measure the dose of deflazacort, slowly adding it to 3 to 4 ounces (90 to 120 mL) of milk or fruit juice, and take it immediately. Do not mix deflazacort suspension with grapefruit juice.
In situations of unusual stress on your body, such as surgery, illness, or infection, your doctor may need to adjust your deflazacort dose. Inform your doctor of any changes in your health or if your symptoms improve or worsen during treatment.
Do not discontinue deflazacort without consulting your doctor. Abruptly stopping the medication may lead to symptoms such as loss of appetite, upset stomach, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, headache, fever, joint and muscle pain, peeling skin, and weight loss. Your doctor will likely taper your dose gradually to allow your body to adjust before discontinuation. Monitor for these side effects during the dose reduction process and after stopping the tablets or oral suspension. If you experience these symptoms, contact your doctor promptly.
