About Dnz-200mg Capsule

Dnz-200mg Capsule 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.

Dnz-200mg Capsule contains Danazol which 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.
