DANOGEN 50MG 10CAP

Danazol is a synthetic androgen (hormone), used to treat pain and infertility caused by endometriosis (a condition involving the tissue of the uterus) as well as in the treatment of cysts or lumps in the breast. Androgens are hormones produced by the male testes. They are responsible for the functioning of the male reproductive system and the development of the male characteristics, such as facial hair and a deep voice. The ovaries also produce small amounts of androgens.
