Mahacort DZ Suspension 30 ml

Your doctor may prescribe Mahacort DZ Suspension to treat the following conditions:

• Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): Mahacort DZ Suspension helps improve muscle strength and slows down the progression of muscle weakness in children with this genetic condition.
• Severe Inflammatory Conditions: It helps reduce severe swelling and tissue irritation caused by autoimmune disorders.
• Severe Asthma and Allergic Reactions: It helps open up the airways and reduces inflammation in the lungs and throat during severe respiratory episodes.
• Nephrotic Syndrome: It helps reduce the inflammation in the kidneys to lower protein loss in the urine.

Using Mahacort DZ Suspension as prescribed helps reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in a range of serious conditions. Here are the key benefits you can expect:

• Reduces inflammation quickly: Mahacort DZ Suspension helps control inflammation, reducing swelling and relieving symptoms in severe respiratory, allergic, and inflammatory conditions, making breathing easier and supporting faster recovery.
• Supports muscle function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Mahacort DZ Suspension helps slow the progression of muscle weakness, allowing children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to maintain their muscle strength and mobility for longer.
• Improves daily comfort and activity: By keeping inflammation under control, Mahacort DZ Suspension helps reduce discomfort and enables children to participate more comfortably in everyday activities.
   

• Mahacort DZ Suspension can be given with or without food.
• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of the medication.
• Shake well before use. Administer the advised dose to the child using the measuring cup/measuring spoon/dropper.
• Avoid using regular household spoons, as they may not measure the dose correctly.

• Limit salt intake: This medicine can cause the body to hold onto extra water and salt. Limit salty snacks, processed foods, and added table salt.
• Boost calcium and vitamin D: Long-term steroid use can weaken bones. Ensure your child eats foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, and leafy green vegetables.
• Avoid sick contacts: Because this medicine can lower your child's ability to fight off infections, try to keep them away from people who are sick with contagious illnesses like chickenpox, shingles, or measles.
• Monitor growth regularly: Since long-term use of this medicine can affect physical growth, keep regular appointments with your paediatrician to monitor your child's height and weight.

• Shake well before each dose: Shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring each dose to ensure the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Do not stop treatment suddenly: Never stop giving Mahacort DZ Suspension abruptly. Your doctor will gradually reduce the dose to allow your child's body to resume normal hormone production.
• Inform healthcare providers: Tell all doctors, dentists, and emergency healthcare professionals that your child is taking Mahacort DZ Suspension before any medical or dental treatment.
• Avoid live vaccines: Do not give your child live vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) or chickenpox vaccine, while they are taking Mahacort DZ Suspension unless advised by your doctor.
• Keep track of doses: Maintain a written record or use a reminder to ensure your child receives each dose on time and to help prevent missed or double doses.
