Common questions about Nandrolone decanoate
Nandrolone decanoate is an injectable medication for managing anemia in people with kidney problems. Your kidneys typically make a protein called erythropoietin (EPO), which tells your bone marrow to make red blood cells. People with kidney problems can't make enough EPO, so the body can't make enough red blood cells, leading to anemia. Nandrolone decanoate is an anabolic steroid, which is a lab-made form of testosterone. Testosterone helps raises your red blood cell count by stimulating (turning on) EPO activity.
No, nandrolone decanoate has been discontinued and is no longer available in the United States. It's not clear why the medication was discontinued, but it wasn't due to reasons related to safety or how well it works.
Anabolic steroids or testosterone-like medications aren't typically used for anemia anymore, because there are newer medications available. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), like Epogen (epoetin alfa) and Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa), are available and commonly used today to treat anemia from kidney problems.
