About Flazic Suspension

Flazic Suspension is used to treat autoimmune conditions like Duchenne muscular dystrophy in adults and children above 2 years of age. Autoimmune disease is a health disorder in which the immune system doesn't work normally and is unable to distinguish between foreign cells and native cells.
