Nandrolone decanoate

Nandrolone decanoate is a synthetic anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) derived from testosterone. It is commonly used in medicine for treating anemia, osteoporosis, and as an adjunct therapy in cancer treatment due to its ability to stimulate erythropoiesis and increase lean body mass.

Pharmacokinetics

When administered intramuscularly, nandrolone decanoate has a prolonged release profile with a half-life of approximately 6–12 days. It is metabolized primarily by hepatic enzymes into inactive metabolites that are excreted via bile and urine. The drug’s lipophilic nature facilitates its incorporation into cell membranes, enabling it to cross the blood–brain barrier.
