Danazol Capsule 100mg is a medication primarily used to treat endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus causing pain and infertility. It's also used in the treatment of fibrocystic breast disease and hereditary angioedema.
Danazol works by suppressing the production of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which play a role in the growth of endometrial tissue. By reducing these hormones, Danazol helps alleviate the symptoms associated with endometriosis.
It's typically available in capsule form and is taken orally. Dosage and duration of treatment vary depending on the condition being treated and individual patient response. Common side effects may include weight gain, acne, oily skin, changes in menstrual periods, and mood changes.
As with any medication, it's important to take Danazol as prescribed by a healthcare professional and to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with them.
