Description

Active Ingredient

This effective medicine contains Deflazacort as the main active ingredient. This active component is a corticosteroid hormone used as an agent to manage Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). DMD can cause serious muscle weakness and progressive breathing and cardiovascular disability, severely impacting peoples’ quality of life and survival.

This active ingredient delays the onset of muscle-related complications resulting from DMD, prolonging the lives of children with DMD. It exerts less harmful effects on bone health and weight than other steroid medications.
