I was recently prescribed Deflazacort 6mg Tablets for my muscular dystrophy. They're supposed to help reduce inflammation and suppress my immune system, but I'm worried about the potential side effects. I've read about the serious side effects like signs of an allergic reaction, infections, high blood sugar, and even Cushing's syndrome. Has anyone else experienced these side effects and how have you handled them? I'm also curious about the other possible side effects like weight gain, frequent urination, and stomach pain. How common are these side effects, and did you notice any improvements in your condition after starting the medication?
