Product introduction

Defcort 12 Tablet is a corticosteroid medicine used in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It helps reduce muscle inflammation and damage, supporting muscle strength and slowing the progression of muscle weakness over time.

Defcort 12 Tablet works by inhibiting the release of substances that cause swelling or by changing how the immune system works. It can be taken on an empty stomach or after food. Taking the medicine regularly at the right times increases its effectiveness. It is important to keep taking the medicine regularly until your doctor tells you it is safe to stop.
