Product Introduction:
Enzocort 6 Mg Tablet is formulated with Deflazacort, a synthetic corticosteroid that exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It is used to manage chronic conditions where inflammation and immune dysregulation are prominent, such as arthritis, asthma, and skin disorders.
