DELOSIS 6 by Chemisis Pharmaceuticals contains Deflazacort, a corticosteroid used primarily for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Deflazacort is commonly prescribed for treating various conditions such as allergic disorders, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and certain autoimmune diseases. It is also used in managing Duchenne muscular dystrophy to help improve muscle strength and function. The typical dosage of DELOSIS 6 is one 6 mg tablet taken once daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. The dosage may vary based on the specific condition being treated and the patient’s response to the medication. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and not to discontinue the medication abruptly to avoid potential withdrawal symptoms. Common side effects of Deflazacort include weight gain, increased appetite, mood changes, and gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and indigestion. Long-term use may lead to more serious side effects such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and increased risk of infections. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended to manage and mitigate these risks.
