Description
DANAZOL CAPS IP 200MG 100`S is a specialized hormonal medication containing 200mg of Danazol per capsule, conforming to Indian Pharmacopoeia standards. Supplied in a pack of 100 capsules, Danazol is a synthetic androgen with potent anti-gonadotropic and anti-estrogenic properties. It primarily works by suppressing the release of pituitary gonadotropins (FSH and LH), leading to a reduction in ovarian estrogen production and inducing a hypoestrogenic state. This action is crucial for managing various hormone-sensitive conditions.
This medication is typically prescribed for the treatment of endometriosis, aiming to shrink endometrial tissue and alleviate associated pain and symptoms. It is also used for the symptomatic relief of fibrocystic breast disease and for the prevention of attacks in hereditary angioedema. As a prescription-only drug, Danazol requires careful medical supervision due to its significant and potentially irreversible side effects, notably androgenic effects such as voice changes and hirsutism. It is critically contraindicated in pregnancy (requiring strict non-hormonal contraception during use) and in patients with severe liver, kidney, or heart conditions. Regular monitoring of liver function and other parameters is essential throughout treatment
