Defta-6 Tablet

Defta-6 Tablet contains Deflazacort, a corticosteroid medicine commonly used for reducing inflammation, controlling allergies, and managing autoimmune conditions. It is prescribed for health issues like asthma, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, kidney inflammation, eye problems, blood-related disorders, and severe skin allergies. Defta-6 works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, swelling, pain, and redness. It also helps regulate an overactive immune system, making it useful in treating autoimmune disorders where the body mistakenly attacks its own tissues. This medicine is considered safer compared to some other corticosteroids for long-term therapy, but it should only be taken under strict medical supervision. Stopping the medicine suddenly or taking it in an incorrect way can lead to complications. By following the doctor’s prescription carefully, Defta-6 can provide effective relief from symptoms, support better disease management, and improve the quality of life in patients with chronic or acute conditions.
