Dzc 3 Tab (Deflazacort) works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors inside cells. This binding influences gene expression, leading to decreased inflammation, reduced immune response, and suppression of allergic reactions. It also has effects on the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. The specific effects depend on the tissue and the concentration of the drug.
