Dezort 6mg Tablet contains Deflazacort 6mg, a corticosteroid medicine used to reduce inflammation and suppress an overactive immune response. It may be prescribed for certain inflammatory, allergic, autoimmune and rheumatic conditions, depending on the patient's medical condition. 

Deflazacort works by reducing the activity of inflammatory chemicals and modifying the body's immune response.
