Nandrolone Decanoate

Nandrolone Decanoate Brand Name– Deca-Durabolin

What is Nandrolone Decanoate

Nandrolone decanoate is a parenteral anabolic steroid. It is used to manage the anemia of chronic renal failure and for osteoporosis.

This agent will increase hemoglobin and red cell mass. With the development of recombinant human erythropoietin, nandrolone decanoate use in anemia associated with chronic renal failure has declined.

Data on the effects of combining nandrolone decanoate and epoetin alfa are lacking. Anabolic steroids also promote body tissue-building processes and reverse catabolic or tissue-depleting processes.

They have also been the subject of drug misuse and abuse, often producing adverse effects such as changes in libido, hepatotoxicity, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and antisocial behavior.

Some of the masculinizing effects in women can be irreversible. When using androgens and anabolic steroids, it is important to provide adequate calorie and protein intake to maintain a positive nitrogen balance.

Nandrolone decanoate was approved by the FDA in 1983 and became a controlled substance in 1991.
