Introduction to Cadcort


Cadcort is a medication primarily used to treat certain medical conditions by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. It is particularly effective in managing symptoms associated with muscle weakening diseases.


Composition of Cadcort


Cadcort 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 produces naturally in your adrenal glands.


Uses of Cadcort


  • Treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in children aged 5 and older.
  • Reduction of inflammation in various conditions.
  • Suppression of the immune system to prevent it from attacking the body's own tissues.

  • Weight gain
  • Increased appetite
  • Round face (Cushingoid appearance)
  • Upper respiratory infections (common cold)
  • Frequent urination
  • Nose and throat inflammation
  • Excessive hair growth
  • Irritability

Serious Side Effects:


  • Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling
  • Severe dizziness
  • Trouble breathing

Precautions of Cadcort


Before taking Cadcort, inform your doctor if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Use with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not stop taking Cadcort suddenly, as it can lead to steroid withdrawal syndrome, causing symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, and headache.


How to Take Cadcort


  • Take Cadcort once daily by mouth.
  • The recommended dose is about 0.9 mg for each kilogram of body weight.
  • It can be taken with or without food, but avoid grapefruit juice.
