Deflazacort is a synthetic steroid that has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is used to decrease inflammation in various different diseases and conditions. Calcort tablets [Deflazacort] contain the active ingredient deflazacort, which is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are hormones that are produced naturally by the adrenal glands. They have many important functions in the body, including control of inflammatory responses. They are often simply called steroids, but it should be noted that they are very different from another group of steroids, called anabolic steroids, which have gained notoriety because of their abuse by some athletes and body builders. Calcort tablets can be used to treat a wide variety of diseases and conditions that require either reduction of inflammation or suppression of the immune system. These include those listed below:

-Severe allergic reactions, eg anaphylaxis.

-Asthma.

-Rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile chronic arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica.

-Inflammatory disorders of the kidney, such as nephritic syndrome and interstitial nephritis.

-Inflammatory eye disorders, e.g. uveitis, optic neuritis.

-Inflammatory skin disorders, including pemphigus vulgaris, bullous pemphigoid and pyoderma gangrenous.

Deflazacort may decrease the body's immune response. This means that vaccines may be less effective if given during treatment, because the body does not produce sufficient antibodies. Live vaccines may cause serious infections. These should not be given to people whose immune system is underactive due to treatment with this medicine.
