High-Yield Explanation
Current methods of emergency contraception include combined oral contraceptives, progestin-only products, copper-containing IUDs, and mifepristone. Danazol is a 19-noestosterone derivative with progestin-like effects. Danazol acts several mechanisms to treat endometriosis. It acts at the hypothalamic level to inhibit gonadotropin release, inhibiting the midcycle surge of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Danazol also inhibits steroidogenic enzymes in the ovary that are responsible for estrogen production. Ref: Sarajari S., Muse, Jr. K.N., Fox M.D. (2013). Chapter 56. Endometriosis. In A.H.
