Important Safety Information

Caution is advised due to numerous potential risks. EMFLAZA can cause hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, hyperglycemia, and Cushing's syndrome. It suppresses the immune system, increasing susceptibility to infections and reactivating latent ones. Patients should be monitored for hypertension, electrolyte imbalances, and gastrointestinal issues. Behavioral and mood disturbances, as well as negative effects on bone health and growth in children, are significant concerns that require monitoring.
