Calcort 30mg 10 tabs, Deflazacort
THIS IS A BRAND MEDICINE
How does it work?
Calcort tablets contain the active ingredient deflazacort, which is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are hormones that are naturally produced by the adrenal glands. They have many important functions in the body, including the control of inflammatory responses. Corticosteroid medications are man-made derivatives of natural hormones.
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 due to their abuse by some athletes and bodybuilders.
Deflazacort is a synthetic steroid that has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is used to decrease inflammation in a number of different diseases and conditions.
Deflazacort works by acting inside cells to prevent the release of certain chemicals that are important in the immune system. These chemicals are normally involved in the production of immune and allergic responses, resulting in inflammation. By decreasing the release of these chemicals in a particular area, inflammation is reduced. This can help control a wide number of disease states characterized by excessive inflammation. These include severe allergic reactions, inflammation of the lungs in asthma, and inflammation of the joints in arthritis.
Deflazacort also decreases the number of white blood cells circulating in the blood. This, along with decreasing inflammatory chemicals, can prevent organ transplant rejection by preventing the body from attacking foreign tissue. It is useful for the treatment of certain types of leukemia, where there is an abnormally large production of certain white blood cells, and for the treatment of certain diseases that are caused by the immune system attacking the tissues in the body (autoimmune diseases).
Never take medication without first consulting your MD.
