Danazol is a synthetic derivative of ethisterone which is approved by FDA for the treatment of endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease and for preventing hereditary angioedema. It is believed that the in vivo therapeutic effect is achieved through activating androgen receptors. Danazol has teratogenic effects.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Endometriosis: In moderate to severe disease, a starting dose of 800 mg given in two divided doses is recommended. For mild cases, an initial daily dose of 200 mg to 400 mg given in two divided doses is recommended. Fibrocystic Breast Disease: The total daily dosage of danazol for fibrocystic breast disease ranges from 100 mg to 400 mg given in two divided doses depending upon patient response. Hereditary Angioedema: It is recommended that the patient be started on 200 mg, two or three times a day.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Undissolved danazol significantly inhibited endometrial cell growth even at less than 100 ng/ml. At 500 ng/ml of fully dissolved danazol, which is the therapeutic dose, danazol solution inhibited leukemic cell growth but not endometrial cell growth.
