Pharmacodynamics

 Nandrolone is chemically related to Testosterone and shows enhanced anabolic and a reduced androgenic activity. In humans Nandrolone Decanoate Injection has shown to positively influence calcium metabolism and to increase bone mass in osteoporosis. Androgenic effects (e.g. virilisation) are relatively uncommon at the recommended dosages. Nandrolone lacks the C17 alpha-alkyl group which is associated with the occurrence of liver dysfunction and cholestasis. Indications and Usage

Osteoporosis, catabolic states, renal insufficiency to counteract glucocorticoid, Suboptimal growth in children, Hypoplastic, Hemolytic or malignancy associated anaemia, to enhance physical ability in athletes, Chronic debilitating diseases especially in elderly patients to correct defective protein metabolism. Dosage and Administration

Nandrolone Decanoate injection is intended for deep intramuscular injection only, into the gluteal muscle preferably. Dosage should be based on therapeutic response and consideration of the benefit to risk ratio. Duration of therapy will depend on the response of the condition and the appearance of adverse reactions. If possible, therapy should be intermittent. Nandrolone Decanoate should be regarded as adjunctive therapy and adequate quantities of nutrients should be consumed in order to obtain maximal therapeutic effects. For example, when it is used in the treatment of refractory anaemia, adequate iron intake is required for a maximal response. A dose of 50 to 100 mg per week is recommended for women and 100 to 250 mg per week for men. Drug therapy should be discontinued if no hematologic improvement is seen within the first six months. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever the solution and container permit.
