Looking for a danazol coupon? Danazol is a low-cost generic medicine used for endometriosis and for preventing attacks of hereditary angioedema. Because the brand Danocrine has been discontinued in the US, danazol is dispensed only as a generic, and cash prices can still vary widely from one pharmacy to the next. Enter your ZIP above to compare today's danazol price with an Rx.com discount card across more than 60,000 pharmacies and find the lowest price near you.
What is danazol and how does it work?
Danazol is a synthetic (man-made) androgen, sometimes called an attenuated androgen. It works mainly by lowering the release of certain hormones from the pituitary gland, which in turn quiets the ovaries and lowers estrogen activity in the body. It is FDA-approved to relieve pain and reduce lesions in endometriosis when other therapies have not worked, and to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (all types).
Danazol is taken by mouth, usually as a capsule, on a schedule set by your prescriber. It is not a quick pain reliever; it is taken regularly over time to control the underlying condition. Your provider will decide the right dose and how long you should take it.
Danazol cost and savings without insurance
The original brand, Danocrine, is no longer sold in the US, so danazol is filled as a generic. Generics are typically much less expensive than brand-name drugs, but the cash price of danazol can still differ a lot depending on which pharmacy you use and where you live. That is why comparing pharmacies matters, even for a generic.
If you are paying without insurance, or if your plan does not cover danazol well, a free Rx.com discount card may lower your cost. There is no manufacturer copay savings card for generic danazol. To see what you would pay, enter your ZIP above to see today's price and compare it across more than 60,000 pharmacies before you fill your prescription.
Danazol alternatives and related medicines
Danazol is one of several medicines used for endometriosis. Depending on the diagnosis, prescribers may consider other hormonal or non-hormonal medicines. Only your provider can decide what is appropriate for you, but related medicines you may see discussed include:
- leuprolide — a GnRH agonist used for endometriosis-related pain
- norethindrone — a progestin used for endometriosis and abnormal uterine bleeding
- medroxyprogesterone — another progestin option
- tranexamic acid — a non-hormonal medicine used for heavy menstrual bleeding

Important safety information
Danazol carries several serious warnings. It must not be used during pregnancy because it can cause male-type changes in a female fetus, and pregnancy should be ruled out before starting; effective non-hormonal (barrier) birth control should be used during treatment. Danazol has also been linked to blood clots, including clots in the brain and life-threatening or fatal stroke, and to serious liver problems and raised pressure around the brain (which can cause headache, vision changes, and swelling of the optic nerve). It should not be used in undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding, marked liver, kidney, or heart disease, porphyria, or while breastfeeding.
Common side effects include acne, weight gain, extra body hair, and deepening of the voice, which may not fully reverse, along with fluid retention and changes in cholesterol. Danazol can also raise the levels or effects of other drugs, such as carbamazepine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, certain statins, and warfarin. This is not a complete list and is not medical advice; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your full history and all medicines you take before starting danazol.
