Calcort, known generically as deflazacort, is a corticosteroid medication used in the management and treatment of various conditions that involve inflammation. It works by suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation, making it effective for conditions such as certain types of arthritis, severe allergies, asthma, and some autoimmune diseases. It is also used in the management of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in certain cases. Calcort is available in tablet form and is usually prescribed by a healthcare professional who will determine the appropriate dosage based on the specific condition being treated. Like all corticosteroids, Calcort can have side effects, and its use must be carefully monitored by a healthcare provider to balance the benefits of treatment against potential risks.
