Danogen 100 mg Capsule (Cyclomen)

Danogen 100 mg Capsule contains 100 mg of danazol in each capsule. Danazol is an androgen-like medicine used for certain hormone-related conditions in women, including endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease when a doctor decides it is appropriate. Danogen 100 mg Capsule is a prescription-only oral capsule made by Cipla, India.

How it works: Danazol works by lowering the activity of certain hormones involved in tissue growth and swelling in conditions like endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease. As an oral capsule, Danogen 100 mg Capsule is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to help reduce hormone-driven symptoms over time.

Danogen 100 mg Capsule is a moderate strength between Danogen 50 mg Capsule and Danogen 200 mg Capsule, so it can help a doctor fine-tune dosing without jumping straight to the higher strength. This capsule may be chosen when a lower strength is not enough but the prescriber wants more flexibility than the 200 mg capsule provides, especially when side effects and response need close monitoring.

• Endometriosis
• Fibrocystic breast disease
• Hormone-related pain or swelling as prescribed
• Other doctor-directed gynecologic uses

• Swallow Danogen 100 mg Capsule whole with water; do not open, chew, or crush it.
• Take it exactly at the times your doctor prescribes, since the schedule can vary by condition.
• You may take Danogen 100 mg Capsule with or without food, unless your prescriber gives different directions.
• If your stomach feels upset, taking the capsule with food may help.
• Do not change to Danogen 50 mg Capsule or Danogen 200 mg Capsule on your own, because the capsule strength matters for dosing.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Danogen 100 mg Capsule provides 100 mg of danazol per capsule. The total daily dose may be given in divided doses and can vary widely depending on the condition being treated; your doctor decides how many 100 mg capsules you need and whether the dose should be once daily or several times per day. Do not exceed the amount your prescriber has instructed, because this strength is meant to be adjusted to the individual patient.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
