Description of Danocrine

Danocrine is an oral medication with the generic name Danazol. It belongs to a group of drugs known as endocrine-metabolic agents. The drug is a man-made form of steroid derived from Ethisterone. Danocrine is available in the form of a capsule. It is available in three strengths, Danocrine 50mg, 100mg and 200mg. The medication is a prescription medication, which means you need to consult your doctor before you buy Danocrine online.

Indications & Dosage of Danocrine

Danocrine is indicated in the treatment of hereditary angioedema, a medical condition which causes swelling of the sexual organs, bowels, windpipe, throat, face, legs, or arms. It is also used to treat fibrocystic breast disease and infertility/pain caused by endometriosis.

Danazol, the main active ingredient in Danocrine, is an androgen. In the case of fibrocystic breast disease, it works by reducing the production of hormones produced by ovaries. For the treatment of other diseases, it works by reducing the levels of specific hormones, which helps treat the symptoms and reduce the severity of the disease.

Your doctor will give you specific instructions regarding the dosage. The recommended daily dose of Danocrine in treatment of Endometriosis is 200-800mg in two or four divided doses. The usual recommended dose of Danocrine for the treatment of fibrocystic breast disease is 200mg daily. A doctor generally recommends the smallest effective dose in the treatment of fibrocystic breast disease.
