Deflazacort is a glucocorticoid used as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant. It is sold in the United Kingdom by Shire under the trade name Calcort,[1] in Brazil as Cortax, Decortil, and Deflanil, and in Honduras as Flezacor.[2] It is not available in the United States.

Deflazacort is a prodrug. Its potency is around 70–90% that of prednisone.[1]
