It is primarily used to manage inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and various allergic conditions. The capsule helps in reducing symptoms such as swelling, itching, redness, and irritation that occur due to an overactive immune response. By controlling the release of certain natural chemicals in the body, Defcort TM Capsule PR provides relief in asthma, arthritis, respiratory diseases, and skin disorders.
