Danazol is a prescription medication used to treat a variety of conditions, primarily related to hormonal imbalances or immune system issues. It is classified as a synthetic steroid and works by affecting the way certain hormones are produced and utilized in the body.

Uses of Danazol

Endometriosis: Danazol helps reduce the symptoms of endometriosis, a condition where the tissue lining the uterus grows outside the uterus. It works by suppressing the hormones responsible for the menstrual cycle, reducing pain, and slowing abnormal tissue growth.
Fibrocystic Breast Disease: Used to alleviate the pain and tenderness associated with non-cancerous breast lumps.
Hereditary Angioedema: Danazol helps prevent attacks of swelling in people with this genetic condition by increasing the levels of specific proteins in the blood.

Mechanism of Action

Danazol reduces the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone by acting on the pituitary gland. This results in:

Suppression of ovarian function.
Reduction in hormonal stimulation of certain tissues, such as the endometrium and breast tissue.
Increased levels of certain blood proteins, help prevent swelling in hereditary angioedema.

Dosage and Administration

Danazol is available in capsule form and is typically taken 1-4 times a day, depending on the condition being treated.
It should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food.
Dosage varies based on the severity of the condition and the patient’s response to treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects include:

Weight gain
Acne
Greasy skin or hair
Flushing or sweating
Serious side effects may include:
Mood changes
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
Unusual bleeding or bruising

If any severe side effects occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Precautions

Danazol should not be used during pregnancy as it can harm the fetus.
Patients with severe liver or kidney problems should avoid using danazol.
Danazol can interact with blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering medications, and other drugs.
