Kivicort 24 and Defnalone 24 both contain the same active medicine, deflazacort 24 mg, which is a steroid used to treat autoimmune and inflammatory conditions such as allergies, arthritis, asthma, skin diseases, and certain immune-related disorders. Since both medicines contain the same drug and strength, they are generally considered similar in action and effectiveness. The main difference is usually the brand name and manufacturer, while the effect in the body is expected to be almost the same when taken in the correct dose. However, some people may notice minor differences in tolerance due to inactive ingredients or tablet formulation. Deflazacort should only be used under medical supervision because long-term or improper steroid use can cause side effects such as weight gain, increased blood sugar, acidity, swelling, mood changes, weak bones, or reduced immunity. It is important not to stop steroid medicines suddenly without a doctor's advice, especially if they have been used for several days or weeks, because the dose often needs gradual reduction. Always follow the dosage and duration recommended by your doctor and attend regular follow-up if you are using steroids for autoimmune conditions.
