## What is Gonablok 200

Gonablok 200 Capsule is a prescription oral capsule used for hormone-related conditions such as Endometriosis, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), and Benign Fibrocystic Breast Disease. It contains Danazol 200 mg, a synthetic steroid derivative with hormone activity. It is manufactured by Win-Medicare Pvt Ltd in WHO-GMP-certified facilities.

Danazol lowers the activity of the ovaries and reduces the levels of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This creates a temporary low-estrogen state in the body. As a result, it reduces hormone-driven changes that cause pain, breast tenderness, and the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.

Gonablok 200 mg Capsule should be taken 2-3 times daily, or exactly as prescribed. You can take it with or without food, but it should be swallowed whole with water. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip it and do not double up.

The most common side effects include weight gain, Acne, irregular menstrual cycles, voice changes, and facial or body hair growth. These typically improve as the body adjusts to Danazol, but consult a doctor if they become severe or persistent. Regular blood tests are advised to monitor blood cell counts, thyroid levels and liver or kidney function during treatment.

Women with unusual vaginal bleeding, blood-clotting problems, heart disease, severe kidney or liver disease, Porphyria (genetic enzyme deficiency), or known allergy to Danazol should avoid use. Extra caution is also needed in Diabetes, Migraine, Hypertension, Epilepsy and pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Store the capsules below 25°C in a dark place, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Kidney Impairment

Severe kidney disease can make this medicine less suitable, and fluid retention can worsen kidney function. Dose adjustment and medical supervision are advised during treatment with Gonablock capsules.

Avoid Gonablock capsules if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding, a current or past blood clot, heart failure, Porphyria, or a hormone-dependent tumor.
