Cambios Fibroquísticos de Mama Cuando el Aceite de Onagra No Ha Controlado la Mastalgia ni la Nodularidad Mamaria
Los cambios fibroquísticos de mama se presentan con dolor mamario (mastalgia) y nodularidad. Cuando el tratamiento farmacológico de primera línea no logra un control adecuado de los síntomas, se indica un protocolo de segunda línea.
El aceite de onagra (EPO) — o el aceite de linaza como agente alternativo de primera línea — fue utilizado pero no logró una buena respuesta en mastalgia (dolor mamario) ni en nodularidad mamaria. La no consecución de estos objetivos es el criterio de escalada para este protocolo.

Treatment with tamoxifen or danazol should be reserved for severe or refractory cases due to their serious side-effects.
Tamoxifen has shown good efficacy in cyclical mastalgia (in 90% cases) in controlled trials with fewer side effects with 10 mg daily dosage.
However, recommendations for danazol administration permit 100 mg twice daily for 2 months which may be increased to 200mg twice daily in case of no response with 100mg but should be discontinued if it still does not respond.
Only in severe or refractory cases, treatment with tamoxifen or danazol may be tried but with proper caution and a beforehand explanation to patient about the possible side-effects.
Studies have reported beneficial effects in alleviating FBD symptoms with dosage of 200 and 400 mg/day; response being early with higher dosage but with more side effects and relapse being quicker with lower dosage.
