Key points

  • Do not take danazol if you are pregnant or could become pregnant; it may harm the fetus.
  • Danazol can reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, so a barrier method is needed during treatment.
  • Long-term use may cause liver damage with abdominal bleeding.

How does Danazol work?

Danazol suppresses the hormones behind endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease. For endometriosis, it shrinks the displaced uterine tissue that causes pain and abnormal bleeding. For fibrocystic breast disease, it blocks the hormone release behind breast pain and lumps. In hereditary angioedema, it raises a natural substance that prevents swelling attacks.
