DEFLAZACORT is available in both oral tablet and suspension dosage forms. The tablet form of DEFLAZACORT can be taken with or without food and swallowed whole with a water glass. Do not crush, chew or break it. The liquid form of DEFLAZACORT can be taken as advised by your doctor with a measuring cup. Your doctor will recommend how often you take DEFLAZACORT based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, chest pain, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, nervousness, diarrhoea and fast heartbeats. Most of these side effects of DEFLAZACORT do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. Do not quit taking deflazacort without consulting your physician. Symptoms such as loss of appetite, a disturbed stomach, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, headache, fever, joint and muscle pain, peeling skin, and weight loss may be caused by stopping the medication suddenly.
Before starting DEFLAZACORT, please inform your doctor that you are allergic (hypersensitive) to DEFLAZACORT. Extra care is to be taken when a patient has an already existing infection being treated (systemic infection) or has recently had some live virus vaccines. Doctors’ consultation is required as DEFLAZACORT is not safe to use during pregnancy.
