Autoimmune disease is a health disorder in which the immune system doesn’t work normally & is unable to distinguish between a foreign cell & a native cell. This condition results in an immune system that starts to attack native cells & organs, leading to many medical problems like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, psoriasis & arthritis, etc.

Deftum-6 Tablet is an immunosuppressive drug that works by binding to immune system cells and turns off the switches (receptors) that lead to their abnormal functioning or damaging effects. After it goes into the system, it binds to immune cells, resulting in the inhibition of inflammation & autoimmune diseases that occur due to the production of chemicals called cytokines responsible for inflammation.
