What are the Indications for DANAZOL?

• INDICATIONS AND USAGE Endometriosis Danazol capsules USP are indicated for the treatment of endometriosis amenable to hormonal management. Fibrocystic Breast Disease Most cases of symptomatic fibrocystic breast disease may be treated by simple measures (e.g., padded brassieres and analgesics). In infrequent patients, symptoms of pain and tenderness may be severe enough to warrant treatment by suppression of ovarian function. Danazol capsules USP are usually effective in decreasing nodularity, pain, and tenderness. It should be stressed to the patient that this treatment is not innocuous in that it involves considerable alterations of hormone levels and that recurrence of symptoms is very common after cessation of therapy. Hereditary Angioedema Danazol capsules USP are indicated for the prevention of attacks of angioedema of all types (cutaneous, abdominal, laryngeal) in males and females.
