Product introduction

Danogen 50 Capsule is used to treat various menstrual problems including painful or irregular periods, premenstrual tension (PMT), benign fibrocystic breast disease (painful breast disease), and a condition called endometriosis.

Danogen 50 Capsule can be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time to get the most benefit. It should be taken as your doctor's advice. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms. Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed for you.

The most common side effects of this medicine include weight gain, hair loss, voice changes, acne, and irregular menstrual cycle. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. You should stop taking it if you become pregnant.

Before taking this medicine tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding if you have ever had any problems with your blood circulation or have diabetes or migraine. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. Your doctor may perform blood tests regularly to check blood cells, liver, and thyroid are working properly.

Uses of Danogen Capsule

Benefits of Danogen Capsule

In Treatment of Benign fibrocystic breast disease

Benign fibrocystic breast disease is a non-cancerous condition in which the breast tissues become lumpy and tender to touch. Such changes may be seen normally during certain hormonal changes in menstrual cycles. However, these symptoms can be bothersome for some women. Danogen 50 Capsule effectively manages such changes and relieves these symptoms. Take it as prescribed by the doctor and do not stop taking it unless your doctor asks you to stop.

In Treatment of Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue like the lining of the womb starts to grow in other places. The main symptoms include pain in your lower stomach or back, period pain, pain during and after sex, constipation, diarrhea and feeling sick. It can also make it difficult to get pregnant. Danogen 50 Capsule will help relieve these symptoms and makes you feel better. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and you may need other medicines or procedures to help control endometriosis.

In Treatment of Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

Danogen 50 Capsule may help reduce PMS symptoms such as mood swings, anxiousness, tiredness, bloating, breast tenderness and headaches. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, getting plenty of sleep, and using relaxation techniques may also be helpful.

In Treatment of Menstrual pain

Painful periods have a big impact on everyday life of a woman and there is not always an obvious cause. Danogen 50 Capsule helps relieve pain and cramps during periods. You may have to use painkillers (NSAIDs) as well for rapid pain relief. Ask your doctor about which are most suitable.
