Nandrolone decanoate, sold under the brand name Deca-Durabolin among others, is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication which is used primarily in the treatment of anemias and wasting syndromes, as well as osteoporosis in menopausal women. It is given by injection into muscle once every one to four weeks.

Nandrolone - Clinical Pharmacology

Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone.  Certain clinical effects and adverse reactions demonstrate the androgenic properties of this class of drugs.  Complete dissociation of anabolic and androgenic effects has not been achieved.  The actions of anabolic steroids are therefore similar to those of male sex hormones with the possibility of causing serious disturbances of growth and sexual development if given to young children.  Anabolic steroids suppress the gonadotropic functions of the pituitary and may exert a direct effect upon the testis.  Anabolic steroids have been reported to increase low-density lipoproteins and decrease high-density lipoproteins.  These changes revert to normal on discontinuation of treatment.

Indications and Usage for Nandrolone

Nandrolone decanoate is indicated for the management of the anemia of renal insufficiency and has been shown to increase hemoglobin and red cell mass. Surgically induced anephric patients have been reported to be less responsive.

Contraindications

1. Male patients with carcinoma of the breast or with known or suspected carcinoma of the prostate.
2. Carcinoma of the breast in females with hypercalcemia: androgenic anabolic steroids may stimulate osteolytic resorption of bones.
3. Pregnancy, because of masculinization of the fetus.
4. Nephrosis or the nephrotic phase of nephritis.
