Defzort Tablet 24 mg contains Deflazacort, a corticosteroid used to treat a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. It helps reduce inflammation, suppress immune system overactivity, and relieve symptoms such as swelling, pain, and allergic reactions. Defzort is commonly prescribed when long-term steroid therapy is required with a comparatively better safety profile on bone metabolism than some other corticosteroids.
