DEZCO 24 mg Tablet contains Deflazacort 24 mg, a corticosteroid medicine used to reduce inflammation, suppress the immune system, and treat allergic and autoimmune conditions.
Deflazacort is a glucocorticoid (steroid) that works by reducing the production of inflammatory substances and suppressing excessive immune responses. It helps relieve swelling, pain, redness, and allergic reactions and is often preferred for long-term treatment because it may have fewer metabolic side effects than some other corticosteroids.
