Hormonal treatments of endometriosis: danazol

        HORMONAL TREATMENTS OF ENDOMETRIOSIS: DANAZOL

The hormonal treatments currently available in Australia for the treatment of endometriosis are Danazol, Duphaston, Provera, Depo-Provera, Primolut N and the oral contraceptive pill.
GnRH agonists and Gestrinone are two newly developed forms of hormonal treatment used in some overseas countries which are currently only available in Australia on a trial basis.
Danazol is the drug which is most commonly used for the treatment of endometriosis. First developed in the early 1960s, it has been used for the treatment of endometriosis in Australia since the late 1970s; it is also used for the treatment of menorrhagia (heavy bleeding).
Danazol is a weakened form of the male hormone testosterone. Testosterone is one of a group of male hormones known as androgens which are 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. Women also produce very small amounts of androgens in their ovaries.
Danazol is distributed by Winthrop in the form of 100 and 200 milligram white gelatin capsules. In Australia, Danazol is also known by its trade name of Danocrine. In die United States, the United Kingdom and Canada it is marketed under the trade names of Danocrine, Danol and Cyclomen respectively.
In Australia, Danazol can only be supplied under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for the treatment of endometriosis if your endometriosis has been definitely diagnosed during a laparoscopy or a laparotomy and if your doctor fills in a special prescription form known as an 'Authority'. If this is done a script of Danazol will only cost you the maximum cost of a prescription under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme as opposed to its full cost.
