When I heard the name deca, instantaneously the brand deca duroblin came into my mind, which is in use in the fitness and sports industry these days. Then I researched on the topic and got confronted with various facts and figures related to it. Here I am sharing my R&D with you.
Deca as the name suggests in chemically named as nandrolone decanante. It is an androgenic and anabolic steroid. Most commonly it is sold as a brand name deca duroblin, it is a liquid which is yellow in colour, clear and found oily when we touch it, its molecular formula is C28H44O3. It has got various therapeutic uses in the medical industry.
These uses are as follows -
1) it is useful in treating osteoporosis arising as a post menopause condition in women.
2) it is used for preventing bone deterioration and helps in retaining the bone density.
3) it helps to manage anaemia in women arising due to the postmenopausal condition.
4) it is used to treat wasting disorders arising out of renal insufficiency.
5) it enhances the tissue-building process.
6) in spite of being banned during the Olympics in 1974, it is aggressively used amongst bodybuilders as a bulking steroid. It is used to increase the size, strength, endurance and muscle recovery.
7) it is used to treat debilitating illness.

It comes in an injection form and is given by the doctor or nurse in your prominent muscles like buttocks on thighs.

It may have possible side effects, so one should well be monitored when on its consumption, also any symptoms which are away from normal should be well reported to the doctor. These may include-
- Acne
- Nausea
- Increase in body hairs
- Voice change
- Itching
- Changes in liver chemistry and anatomy
- Fluid retention

Its continuation and discontinuation should be well monitored by a registered medical practitioner. If any of the possible side effects are seen, the doctor will use his intellect to give us the best decision.
It should always be brought from the best brands, it is best to be brought from the UK. Here it can be taken online too with the effective return and delivery policy. I personally believe that while on medication we should always be in safe hands with a good doctor and a good brand.
