Eczema and urticaria
Autoimmune disorders (like juvenile arthritis)

Depcort Suspension is highly recommended in pediatric practice for treating chronic inflammatory and allergic diseases in a more controlled and safe manner.
Depcort Suspension contains Deflazacort, a glucocorticoid that binds to specific receptors in cells, regulating gene expression and suppressing inflammatory pathways. It:
Inhibits synthesis of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins
Reduces immune cell activity and migration
Lowers histamine levels in allergic reactions
Prevents tissue damage due to chronic inflammation
The result is a broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory effect with immune modulation for comprehensive disease control.
Typical Pediatric Dose: 0.25–1.5 mg/kg/day (divided into 1–2 doses)
The exact dose of Depcort Suspension is determined by the child’s weight, age, and severity of the condition.
