Introduction to Brifcort

Brifcort is a medication primarily used to treat conditions that involve inflammation and immune system responses. It is particularly effective in managing symptoms of certain muscular disorders.

Composition of Brifcort

Brifcort contains the active ingredient Deflazacort, which is a type of corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are a class of drugs that reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system.
