This is a corticosteroid that is available in 30 countries. Has it been approved by the FDA yet for use in the US? ## Can you plz send me the list of manufacturers that produce Deflazecort for validation purposes on lab scale? ## Sorry, there is nothing listed under this name in the US databases, so I cannot help you. Most brand names differ from country to country, so it would not be listed under the same name in the US. If you can tell me the name of the active ingredient, I can check it out for you that way. ## Hello, thanks for responding. Yes I am talking about the active ingredient only, Deflazacort, because the brand name varies from company to company.

I have rheumatoid arthritis. I've been taking defza 6mg for more than one and half years. I am now gaining weight (10 kg). Can I stop taking it?
