Introduction to Bericort


Bericort is a medication primarily used to manage inflammation and suppress the immune system. It is often prescribed for conditions that involve excessive inflammation or an overactive immune response.


Composition of Bericort


Bericort contains the active ingredient Deflazacort, which is a type of corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are a class of drugs that mimic the effects of hormones your body naturally produces in your adrenal glands.

Precautions of Bericort


Before taking Bericort, inform your doctor if you have any allergies, especially to corticosteroids. Use with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not stop taking Bericort suddenly, as it can lead to steroid withdrawal syndrome, causing symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, and headache.


How to Take Bericort


  • Take Bericort once daily by mouth.
  • The recommended dose is about 0.9 mg for each kilogram of body weight.
