Danogen 200 Capsule

Danogen 200 contains Danazol which belongs to the group of medicines called Androgens. It is used to treat endometriosis, severe cyclical mastalgia (breast pain associated with hormonal variations), breast cysts, dysfunctional uterine bleeding (bleeding from vagina other than that of menstrual cycle), symptomatic gynecomastia, preoperative thinning of endometrium and hereditary angioneurotic edema (painless swelling under the skin). Endometriosis is defined as an illness where some of the tissues that line the womb are found elsewhere in the body. Gynecomastia refers to an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue in males, due to an imbalance of hormones estrogen and testosterone. Prior to the treatment, your doctor may want you to take several blood tests to understand your existing condition. Avoid consumption of alcohol during treatment with Danogen 200, as it may cause nausea or breathlessness. Before taking Danogen 200, inform your doctor if you have hormonal cancer, blood clots, heart, liver or kidney problems or porphyria. Danogen 200 is not recommended for use among pregnant or breastfeeding women, therefore consult your doctor before taking it. Safety and effectiveness of Danogen 200 in paediatric and elderly patients have not been established. The most common side effects of taking Danogen 200 are weight gain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, lethargy and headache. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects worsen.
