What is Danogen-50?
Danogen containing the active ingredient danazol is a synthetic steroid that belongs to a class of medications called gonadotrophin inhibitors. The medication works by affecting the ovaries and pituitary gland and prevents the release of certain hormones in the body. It is used to treat endometriosis, a condition where the tissue that normally lines the womb grows on the other organs outside the womb. Some people may also use the drug to treat severe breast pain, nodules (lumps) and tenderness in benign fibrocystic breast disease as well as hereditary angioedema.

How is Danogen-50 used?
Danogen is usually taken orally twice per day or as directed by a doctor. The medication can be used with or without food but should be taken the same way each time. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to the therapy. The capsules should be swallowed whole and not split, crushed or broken to prevent too much of the drug from being released at one time.

  • Acne
