UVCORT TABLETS
(Deflazacort 6/12/30mg Tablets)
Deflazacort is a corticosteroid. This medicine works by inhibiting the release of chemical
substances that are responsible for swelling and allergic reactions. Deflazacort is used to
treat
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a rare, inherited muscle disease that occurs
usually in
children and young adults and is caused by an absence of a protein called dystrophin, which
helps
keep muscle cells intact.
