Before Using

Drug information provided by: Merative, Micromedex®

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:

Allergies

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals.

Pediatric

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of deflazacort in children 2 years of age and older. Safety and efficacy have been established. However, because of deflazacort oral suspension containing benzyl alcohol, use in children younger than 2 years of age is not recommended.

Geriatric

No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of deflazacort in geriatric patients.
