Deflazacort tablets contain the active ingredient deflazacort which is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are hormones that are produced naturally by the adrenal glands. They have many important functions in the body including control of inflammatory responses. Corticosteroid medicines are man-made derivatives of the natural hormones. They are often simply called steroids but it should be noted that they are very different from another group of steroids called anabolic steroids which have gained notoriety because of their abuse by some athletes and body builders. Deflazacort is a synthetic steroid that has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is used to decrease inflammation in various different diseases and conditions. Deflazacort works by acting within cells to prevent the release of certain chemicals that are important in the immune system. These chemicals are normally involved in producing immune and allergic responses resulting in inflammation. By decreasing the release of these chemicals in a particular area inflammation is reduced. This can help control a wide number of disease states characterised by excessive inflammation. These include severe allergic reactions inflammation of the lungs in asthma and inflammation of the joints in arthritis. Deflazacort also decreases the numbers of white blood cells circulating in the blood. This along with the decrease in inflammatory chemicals can prevent the rejection of organ transplants as it prevents the body from attacking foreign tissue. It is useful for the treatment of certain types of leukaemia where there is an abnormally large production of certain white blood cells and for treating certain diseases that are caused by the immune system attacking tissues in the body (autoimmune diseases). What is it used for?Calcort tablets can be used to treat a wide variety of diseases and conditions that require either reduction of inflammation or suppression of the immune system. These include those listed below.Severe allergic reactions eg anaphylaxis.Asthma.Rheumatoid arthritis juvenile chronic arthritis polymyalgia rheumatica.Inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.Inflammatory disorders of the kidney such as nephrotic syndrome and interstitial nephritis.Inflammatory eye disorders eg uveitis optic neuritis.Inflammatory skin disorders including pemphigus vulgaris bullous pemphigoid and pyoderma gangrenosum.Inflammatory disease of the skin and muscles (dermatomyositis).

Fluconazole is also used to treat meningitis (infection of the membranes covering the brain and spine) caused by fungus. Fluconazole is also used to prevent yeast infections in patients who are likely to become infected because they are being treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy before a bone marrow transplant (replacement of unhealthy spongy tissue inside the bones with healthy tissue). Fluconazole is in a class of antifungals called triazoles. It works by slowing the growth of fungi that cause infection.Fluconazole comes as a tablet and a suspension (liquid) to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day. You may need to take only one dose of fluconazole or you may need to take fluconazole for several weeks or longer. The length of your treatment depends on your condition and on how well you respond to fluconazole. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take fluconazole exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.Your doctor may tell you to take a double dose of fluconazole on the first day of your treatment. Follow these directions carefully.Shake the liquid well before each use to mix the medication evenly.Continue to take fluconazole until your doctor tells you that you should stop even if you feel better. Do not stop taking fluconazole without talking to your doctor. If you stop taking fluconazole too soon your infection may come back after a short time. Fluconazole is also sometimes used to treat serious fungal infections that begin in the lungs and can spread through the body and fungal infections of the eye prostate (a male reproductive organ) skin and nails.
