i have breathing problem. some times i suddenly get a suffocation problem then i could hardly breath... endoscopy report said that there is a mild reflux in GE junction. doctor observed the report. he prescribed me to take defcort 6 tablets once a day.... is this combination is right...? and is this dosage perfect to cure it permanently.. ## Defcort contains the active ingredient Deflazacort, which is a steroid class medication that is used to treat inflammation and to suppress the immune system. Learn more Defcort details here. It will not, however, cure it, if your problems have really been caused by acid reflux, because this does nothing to reduce your stomach acid and allow any damage to heal. Are there any other questions or comments?

I have kidney problem with about 3.2 gm protein discharge daily. Doctor had suggested taking Prednisolone 120 mg A/D.With the first doze itself, I had serious chest pain. Later on another nephrologist suggested me taking Defcort 30 mg x 21/2 tablets daily. I am afraid due to the first exprience with Prednisolone. I am a heart patient having undergone angioplasty already. Please advise.I am also taking medicine for BP.and diabetese. ## Did the doctors say the chest pain was caused by the Prednisolone? If so, then that would be a good sign that it is not safe for you to use. If you are already a heart patient, it could also complicate things further, because it can cause fluid retention, which can result in congestive heart failure for people that are susceptible to it. Do they doctors th...

I was having acute cough problem for the last three weeks. The doctor suggested me Advent (BD), Thioasthaline (TID), Ambrolite syrup (TID) and prescribed complete haemogram, FBS and chest X-ray (PA) for further diagnosis.

However, the doctor added Defcort 24 mg to the above medication. I am having open angle glaucoma, I therefore want to know whether defcort should be avoided. ## I am having cough for last 5 weeks, have taken course of antibiotics and rotohaler 400 along with some cough expectorants, now my doctor have given me Defcort 30 and LCF syrup.... after 1st dose of Defcort this morning in less than 1 hrs, i feel extr...

Mu period was regular since last month..date to date..i am a 42 years old female.due to some skin allergy my doctor gave me defcort 24 mg dor 3 days single tablet daily,i am not getting my period this month now,its above 12 days now... ## Hello, Dimple! How are you? Yes, as ladies, we pretty much have to accept that any medication we take may throw off our periods, it's just something that happens and you'll find it listed under the full side effects that the U.S. FDA issues for almost all medications. Additionally, your age could be a factor, we ladies can also start experiencing the symptoms of perimenopause anytime after age 35, and it can cause our periods to become irregular. Is there any risk of pregnancy?
