Defcort 6 Mg Tab

Overview
This medicine is a cortisone-type tablet used to control inflammation and suppress overactive immune responses. It helps reduce swelling, ease pain, and manage conditions caused by an overactive immune system.

How It Works
The tablet is converted in the body into an active form that binds to specific receptors in cells. This reduces the production of chemicals that cause inflammation and helps calm down the immune system.

Common Uses

• Reducing inflammation in joints and muscles (arthritis, rheumatic conditions)
• Treating autoimmune disorders (when the immune system attacks the body)
• Managing chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., some lung, skin, or tissue conditions)
• Helping slow the progression of certain muscle-weakening conditions when prescribed long-term

Key Benefits

• Effectively reduces inflammation and swelling throughout the body
• Helps manage symptoms of autoimmune diseases by calming an overactive immune system
• Can improve comfort, reduce pain and stiffness, and enhance mobility
• Often associated with fewer bone-related or growth-related side effects compared to some older steroids (when used under medical supervision)

Safety & Precautions

• Must be used only under doctor’s supervision; doses may need careful adjustment depending on the condition
• Long-term use may affect bone health, growth (in children), blood sugar, and immune response
• Avoid stopping suddenly — tapering may be required to prevent side effects
• People with infections, high blood pressure, diabetes, bone disorders, or eye problems should discuss risks carefully with their doctor before using
