Defza 6 Mg Tablet

My doctor prescribed Defza 6mg twice daily for 15 days. What is the primary use of it? ## Hi, Kumar! Defza contains the active ingredient Deflazacort, which is a steroid class medication that's used as an anti-inflammatory and an immune suppressant. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, weight changes and fluid retention. ## My son's doctor has prescribed defza 6 mg. He asked him to take 1 in the morning and 1 at night for one week and the next week to only take 1 in the morning. How safe is defza 6 mg for my 13 year old son for his eczema disease? Please let me know.

Dear sir, I am 34 yrs male -72 kg & have been suffering from arthritis disease for the last 12 yrs. Now i am taking indocap sr 75 mg & sazo 1000 mg, ultracet, cyra -d tabs are twice daily. After taking this medicine 15 to 20 days no result found. Again i consulted the doctor and he told me to take defza 30 mg per day for one month. But I'm afraid to take 30 mg per day. If any side effect could occur, kindly advise me if 30mg per day is ok or not for me. Except steroid, but any other good medicine that can be prescribed to me for curing this disease early. Any other medicine to continue life without this disease. yours truly B.D.Swain --{edited for privacy} ## Dear B.D.Swain The prescription that you have mentioned here, is exactly the same as my Mom takes.
