Description
Deumag 6mg Tablets – Deflazacort Corticosteroid for Inflammation
Deumag 6mg Tablets contain Deflazacort, an oxazoline-derived corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Deflazacort is a prodrug converted in vivo to its active metabolite, desethyldeflazacort. Compared to Prednisolone, Deflazacort offers a more favourable bone-sparing and metabolic profile while maintaining equivalent anti-inflammatory potency — making it preferable in patients requiring prolonged corticosteroid therapy. It is indicated for a broad range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), psoriasis, asthma, and other corticosteroid-responsive disorders.
Deumag should be taken strictly as prescribed. Long-term corticosteroid use requires gradual dose tapering when discontinuing — abrupt withdrawal can precipitate adrenal crisis. Side effects of prolonged use include fluid retention, elevated blood glucose, osteoporosis, and increased infection susceptibility. Regular monitoring, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and gastroprotection are recommended in long-term users. Always use under physician guidance.
