How It Works

• Danogen 50mg Capsule The capsule stops the pituitary gland from making and releasing FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone).
• This causes the body to make less estrogen, which then:
• Slows down the growth of endometrial tissue (in endometriosis)
• Relieves breast discomfort and swelling (in fibrocystic breast illness)
• Raises the levels of C1-esterase inhibitor in the blood (in hereditary angioedema), which stops or lessens episodes of swelling.
• The total consequence is a balance of hormones, less inflammation, and better control of symptoms.

Medicine Interaction

• Big Drug Interactions:
• Warfarin and other blood thinners raise the risk of bleeding, so keep a close eye on your INR.
• Insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs: May not work as well; keep an eye on your blood sugar levels.
• Cyclosporine and Tacrolimus: These drugs may make kidney damage more likely.
• Carbamazepine / Phenytoin: May raise drug levels and make them more dangerous.
• Statins (Atorvastatin, Simvastatin) may cause muscular injury (rhabdomyolysis).
• Avoid hormonal birth control or estrogen therapy since they can make Danazol less effective.
• Food and alcohol interaction:
• Stay away from alcohol and foods heavy in fat, as these can make your liver work harder and make adverse effects worse.
