A previously untreated patient received initial treatment with 1000 U of C1-INH concentrate (Aventis-Behring). Because of the patient's tendency to develop an attack before the next C1-INH concentrate infusion, the weekly dose of C1-INH was divided into two 500 U infusions. Several times, while receiving 1000 U C1-INH concentrate per week, the patient had an attack the day or a day before the next infusion.316 The possible effect of a baseline therapy of danazol in HAE patients is best seen in samples before when comparing therapy with 500 U C1-INH concentrate per week with 500 U C1-INH concentrate per week plus danazol 100 mg/d.
