Deflazacort is a corticosteroid medication used to treat a variety of conditions characterized by inflammation, such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, certain skin conditions, and allergic reactions. Deflazacort is particularly known for its lower mineralocorticoid activity compared to other corticosteroids, which means it may cause fewer side effects related to fluid and electrolyte balance. However, like all corticosteroids, it can still cause side effects such as weight gain, increased appetite, mood changes, and changes in blood sugar levels. It should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional and according to the prescribed dosage regimen.
Triamcinolone is a corticosteroid medication used to treat inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, as well as allergic reactions and arthritis. It reduces inflammation, itching, and redness associated with these conditions, but long-term use may lead to side effects such as skin thinning and increased susceptibility to infections.
