Prednisone vs. Deflazacort
My son has DMD and is 4 and a half years old. We have been advised by our consultant that he needs to start taking steroids. We are aware there are two types of corticosteroids; Prednisone and Deflazacort – we have done a lot of reading about the pros and cons of each but wondered if you had any information or advice that would help us make a decision about which way to go. If there is anyone who has experience of either of the two drugs, I would be very interested to hear about the effects and any side effects. Thank you.
