Atarax (hydroxyzine) and Rantac (ranitidine) control symptoms, while Defcort (deflazacort) is a steroid that calms inflammation. After three months of use, your hives likely return because the underlying trigger is still active, or because your body is experiencing a 'rebound' effect from stopping the steroid suddenly. It is very important not to stop deflazacort abruptly. Please consult your doctor to discuss a safe, gradual tapering schedule and a sustainable long-term treatment plan.
