Dosage:

Mechanism of Action:

Deflazacort, the active ingredient in BERICORT, works by suppressing the immune response and reducing inflammation through its action on glucocorticoid receptors, thereby providing relief from symptoms.

Deflazacort is a glucocorticoid that works by:

  • Suppressing the immune system
  • Reducing inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory substances
  • Preventing tissue damage from overactive immune responses

It gets converted into an active metabolite in the liver, which has similar effects to prednisone but with potentially fewer side effects on bone health and glucose metabolism.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

  • Weight gain
  • Mood changes
  • Increased appetite
  • Insomnia
  • Gastrointestinal disturbances

Consult a healthcare professional if side effects persist or worsen.

Contraindications:

BERICORT should not be used in patients with:

  • Known hypersensitivity to Deflazacort
  • Active infections
  • Certain viral infections
  • Osteoporosis

Drug Interactions:

Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as BERICORT may interact with:

  • Anticoagulants
  • NSAIDs
  • Vaccines
