Overview

What is Danazol?

Danazol is a synthetic attenuated androgen that suppresses the pituitary-ovarian axis and directly inhibits endometrial tissue growth. It has largely been replaced by GnRH agonists for endometriosis due to androgenic side effects but remains the drug of choice for prophylaxis of hereditary angioedema (HAE).
Mechanism

How Does It Work?

1
Gonadotrophin suppression

Danazol suppresses the mid-cycle LH/FSH surge, creating an anovulatory, low-oestrogen state that causes regression of endometrial implants.

2
Direct androgen receptor activity

Danazol binds androgen and progesterone receptors in endometrial tissue, directly causing atrophy of ectopic endometrial deposits and relieving endometriosis pain.

3
C1-inhibitor upregulation (HAE)

In hereditary angioedema, danazol increases hepatic synthesis of C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), reducing complement activation and the frequency of angioedema attacks.

Dosage

How to Use

  • Hereditary angioedema: 200 mg 2–3 times daily initially; taper to lowest effective dose

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Danogen 200 Capsule used for hereditary angioedema?
Danazol increases the liver's production of C1-esterase inhibitor, the protein that is deficient in hereditary angioedema, reducing the frequency and severity of swelling attacks.
What androgenic side effects might I notice with Danogen 200 Capsule?
Acne, oily skin, weight gain, and increased body hair are common. Voice deepening may occur in women and can be permanent — report this to your doctor promptly.
Can I become pregnant while taking Danogen 200 Capsule?
No — Danazol must never be used in pregnancy as it can cause irreversible virilisation of a female fetus. Use effective non-hormonal contraception throughout treatment.
How long does Danazol take to work for endometriosis?
Most women notice pain improvement within 4–8 weeks; full treatment is typically 3–6 months for endometriosis.
⚠ BLACK BOX WARNING

Thromboembolic events and stroke have been reported with danazol use.

Use during pregnancy is absolutely contraindicated — danazol can cause permanent virilisation of a female fetus including clitoromegaly and labioscrotal fusion.
