Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 Hi , Been there and done that... Danazol is an anabolic steroid, and not a cortico steroid. It has the potential for some nasty side affects, the most common being pimples or boils. The other is hair growth in the most unusual places or in any place... I was on Danazol for about 6 months 5 years ago... didn't do a thing for me except I had to shave my ears.
