Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare genetic disease that causes muscle fiber weakness and atrophy. It usually begins to develop between the ages of 2 and 5 and dies of myocardial failure around the age of 20. Compared with prednisone, the reason why deflazacort is more suitable for treating DMD patients is that in addition to having a higher probability of improving the patient's lung function and mental irritability, its main advantage is that deflazacort can better improve the muscle strength score and reduce weight gain of DMD patients.

It is guaranteed to be genuine and at an affordable price. You can consult customer service staff for specific costs and procedures for obtaining the drug. Obtaining the drug is guaranteed.
