Deflazacort, a glucocorticoid, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting phospholipase A2, an enzyme involved in prostaglandin synthesis. It also suppresses immune responses by decreasing the release of pro-inflammatory immune mediators, thereby contributing to its immunosuppressive properties.

Flacort is used in the management of a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, including:
Use only as directed by a registered physician.
Though clinical exposure in children is limited, dosing guidelines generally fall between 0.25–1.5 mg/kg/day depending on the condition. Alternate-day dosing may be considered to minimize side effects.
Use only under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner.
For patients who have been on systemic corticosteroids (approx. 9 mg/day or more) for over 3 weeks, gradual tapering is required to avoid relapse and adrenal insufficiency.
Flacort is metabolized in the liver. Enzyme inducers like rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenobarbitone, and phenytoin may reduce its effectiveness, requiring dose adjustments.
Enzyme inhibitors such as ketoconazole may increase drug levels, possibly necessitating a lower maintenance dose.
Deflazacort crosses the placenta. Prolonged or repeated use may result in fetal growth restriction. It should be used only when the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
Although no direct data is available for Deflazacort, corticosteroids are excreted in breast milk. Doses up to 50 mg/day are generally considered safe. Higher doses may carry a risk of adrenal suppression in infants, though breastfeeding benefits often outweigh these risks.
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry location protected from moisture and light. Keep out of children’s reach.
