At the same time, deflazacort will be indicated in the treatment of asthma, being compensated in proportion of 70% for adults and 100% for children up to 18 years.
Two other preparations will have a compensation rate of 30%. These include memantinum, a drug used to treat Alzheimer's disease, and rosuvastatin for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases associated with dyslipidemia.
