Cista Medicorp manufactures corticosteroid tablets and suspension under WHO-GMP norms - deflazacort and methylprednisolone - available on district-wise monopoly rights across India.

Deflazacort has a smaller effect on calcium handling and on blood sugar than prednisolone at equivalent anti-inflammatory strength, so bone loss and rises in glucose are less pronounced. That is why it is often preferred where treatment has to continue for months: in nephrotic syndrome, in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and in children, where a long steroid course competing with growing bone is a real concern. It is available as a 6 mg tablet and as a suspension for dosing by weight.

Methylprednisolone is around 20 per cent more potent per milligram than prednisolone and holds less sodium and water, which matters where blood pressure or fluid balance is a concern. It is stocked in 4, 8 and 16 mg so a course can be started at the dose the condition needs and stepped down in stages.

A steroid is dosed in small milligram steps and tapered against a patient's response, so content uniformity from tablet to tablet is what makes a taper mean anything. Assay and uniformity are checked on every batch.

Frequently asked questions about Steroid

Do you offer monopoly rights for the corticosteroid range?

Yes. District-wise monopoly rights are offered across India. Tell us your district and we will confirm availability.

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ depends on the strengths stocked. Because steroids are tapered, most distributors carry the full strength ladder. Contact our team for the current MOQ and net rates.

How long does delivery take?

Stocked items are usually dispatched within two to three working days and reach most Indian cities in four to seven days.

Which corticosteroids do you manufacture?

Deflazacort 6 mg as a tablet and as a suspension, and methylprednisolone in 4 mg, 8 mg and 16 mg tablets. Injectable hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone acetate and triamcinolone are available in our injectable range.

Why is deflazacort preferred for long courses?

Because at equivalent anti-inflammatory strength it has less effect on calcium handling and on blood sugar than prednisolone, so bone loss and rises in glucose are less pronounced. That matters most in children and in conditions treated for months, such as nephrotic syndrome.

Can a steroid course be stopped as soon as symptoms improve?

No. A course lasting more than a week or two is stepped down gradually under medical supervision, because the adrenal gland reduces its own cortisol production while the medicine is being taken and needs time to restart. That is why these strengths exist as a ladder.
