Danogen 200mg Cap (Danazol) is a synthetic steroid that acts as a weak androgen. It suppresses the production of gonadotropins (luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone) by the pituitary gland, which in turn reduces the production of estrogen and progesterone. This effect helps to alleviate symptoms associated with conditions like endometriosis and fibroids.

Store Danazol at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The dosage of Danazol varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient's needs.

It is typically taken orally, with or without food.

Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dosage.
