We report on an angioedema patient with a genetic defect in complement 1 inhibitor, manifesting migraine-like episodes of headache, effective prophylaxis with Danazol, and triptan for a treatment of acute clinical episode. The patient was 44-yr-old Korean man with abdominal pain and headache, who was brought into the Emergency Department of Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul. He suffered...

PURPOSE It has been hypothesized that circulating androgens may be involved in the development of ovarian cancer. The androgenic medication, danazol, and the antiandrogenic medications, leuprolide and nafarelin, are commonly used in the treatment of endometriosis. We assessed the associations between the use of these medications and ovarian cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We pooled information on...

Hereditary angioedema (HAE), an auto-somal dominant disorder characterized by attacks of episodic edema is associated with decreased functional levels of the C1 esterase inhibitor. Approximately 85% of patients have lowered antigen levels of a normal inhibitor protein. 15% of patients have normal or elevated antigenic levels of functionless protein. We have examined the response to danazol ther...

background: letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor which can decrease estrogen production in peripheral tissues and endometriosis. danazol, as an androgen, inhibits estrogen production in ovaries and recently has been introduced as an aromatase inhibitor. this study was designed to compare the effects of danazol with letrozole on endometriosis symptom relief. materials and methods: this study was ...

BACKGROUND Corticosteroid sparing is required in 15% to 40% of adults with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Herein, the efficacy of immunomodulatory drugs (dapsone, interferon alpha, danazol, and hydroxychloroquine as second-third-line therapies in ITP is investigated. METHODS MEDLINE was searched for studies that included patients with persistent or chroni...

Seven patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), persistent thrombocytopenia (TP), in whom it was considered undesirable to institute an increase in steroid or immunosuppressive agents, were treated with danazol. Five patients completed the minimum period of 8 weeks. Two patients showed early response to danazol but were switched over to cyclophosphamide or azathioprine after 4 weeks bec...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been exploited to improve the absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs. Custom-made ILs solubilized very high quantities of the poorly water-soluble drugs, danazol and itraconazole, and maintained drug solubilization under simulated gastro-intestinal conditions. A danazol-containing self-emulsifying IL formulation gave rise to 4.3-fold higher exposure than the crystalli...
