Introduction

Stcort 6 mg tab

Stcort 6 is a corticosteroid medication containing deflazacort (6mg per tablet), commonly used to treat inflammation, autoimmune conditions, allergies, asthma, arthritis, and muscular disorders like Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Key Description

Stcort 6 works by suppressing the immune system and reducing the production of inflammatory chemicals, which helps alleviate swelling, pain, redness, and immune overreactions in various conditions.
It provides targeted relief for joint, muscle, skin, and respiratory issues while supporting muscle strength in progressive disorders.
Take it orally as prescribed, swallowing whole with water, with or without food, at the same time daily.

Advantages and Benefits

Effectively reduces inflammation and swelling in arthritis, asthma, and skin conditions.
Improves breathing in asthma/COPD and slows muscle weakness progression in dystrophy.
Manages autoimmune diseases and allergic reactions for better daily comfort.
Offers fewer side effects compared to some traditional steroids due to deflazacort’s profile.

How It Works

Stcort 6 inhibits inflammatory mediators and immune responses at the cellular level, decreasing cytokine production and stabilizing cell membranes to prevent excessive immune activity.
This action quickly curbs symptoms like pain and stiffness while promoting recovery in affected tissues.
Effects typically start within hours, with full benefits building over consistent use.

Precautions

Do not stop abruptly; taper gradually under doctor supervision to avoid withdrawal.
Inform doctor of kidney/liver/heart issues, diabetes, hypertension, epilepsy, infections, or osteoporosis.
Avoid if pregnant/breastfeeding unless advised; monitor blood sugar and bone density in long-term use.
Stay away from infected people; report fever/sore throat immediately as it weakens immunity.
Do not drive if dizzy; avoid alcohol, antacids (keep 2-hour gap), and certain drugs like rifampicin.
Not for live vaccines or surgery without consulting doctor.
