Calcort (Deflazacort) Uses and Important Information

Calcort belongs to the family of medications known as the corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are hormones produced naturally by the adrenal glands to control the inflammatory responses of the body. Corticosteroid medicines are synthe4tic derivatives of natural hormones. Calcort tablets are used to treat a number of conditions where suppression of immune system or reduction of inflammation is required. Some of them are:

• Inflammatory disorders of skin, kidney, or eyes
• Asthma
• Severe allergic reactions
• Mixed connective tissue disease
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Anemia
• Cancer of lymph nodes

Calcort tablets hinder the release of certain chemicals by acting within cells. These chemicals are essential to the immune system as they produce allergic and immune responses that result in inflammation. By reducing the release of these chemicals inflammation is reduced. This helps to control various disease caused by excessive inflammation.
