How Dfc Oral Suspension works

Dfc Oral Suspension is a corticosteroid. It increases the level of glucocorticoid in the body and works by decreasing the formation of substances that cause inflammation and suppresses immunity to stop self damage to the body by the immune system (auto-immune reactions occurring in organ transplants or cancer).

Dosage

Dfc Oral Suspension is usually taken once daily, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. The dose is determined according to body weight, age, response to treatment, and other medicines being taken. Do not take Dfc Oral Suspension with grapefruit juice. Do not stop taking it suddenly, as the dose may need to be reduced gradually.
