Abstract
The results of a randomized trial to investigate the efficacy of different dosage regimens of danazol in the treatment of endometriosis indicate that for mild endometriosis 200 mg/day of danazol is adequate therapy with less severe side effects than higher dosages. However, more extensive disease requires a higher dose.
