About Benzol 50mg Tablet

DANAZOL belongs to the class of drugs called synthetic steroids used to treat endometriosis and breast cysts. Endometriosis is a disorder in which the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) grows on the ovaries, bowel, or tissues lining the pelvis. The most common symptom is pelvic pain.

DANAZOL contains Danazol that works by suppressing the activity of ovaries. Thus, it decreases the amount of estrogen in the body and induces temporary menopause. Thereby, it shrinks the tissue outside the uterus or stops its growth.

Take DANAZOL as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take DANAZOL for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience sore throat, hoarse voice, hair loss, excessive hair growth on the body or face, stomach pain, skin rashes, or chest pain. Most of these side effects of DANAZOL do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to DANAZOL or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. DANAZOL is contraindicated in pregnant and breastfeeding women. You are recommended to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol with DANAZOL as it may cause shortness of breath or make you feel sick. Drive only if you are alert as DANAZOL may cause dizziness, vertigo (spinning feeling), or blurred vision. If you are about to undergo any surgery, please inform your doctor that you are taking DANAZOL as it may increase the effect of certain anesthetics.
