Presentation: Injectable (IM-Depot) 100mg/mL; 200mg/mL X 10mL
Common dose range: 25mg qw- 400mg qw (or q month)
Active-life: 7-10 days post injection

Nandrolone was FDA approved in 1983 for treatment of Osteoporosis; anemia; and to treat some forms of neoplasia including breast cancer.
Nandrolone is indicated for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic and acute renal failure.
Nandrolone is indicated for Cachexia, most commonly in the form of; 1) HIV/AIDS wasting syndrome; Wasting caused by Tuberculosis;
Catabolic wasting commonly seen in wounded veterans; Superior mesenteric artery syndrome; Cancer Cachexia.
++Nandrolone is used to induce an increase in nitrogen retention and feed-efficiency for patients suffering metabolic acidosis.
++Nandrolone is used to treat musculoskeletal injuries and soft tissue trauma. Nandrolone is also prescribed to improve joint pain/injury. In addition Nandrolone is used to shorten recovery time post-surgery. This use is still controversial under the law.
++ Nandrolone is used for the treatment of muscle loss due to M.S and other neurological disease.

Both Oxandrolone and Nandrolone are effectively used in patients suffering pain and weakness caused by Fibromyalgia or Lupus.
Oxandrolone
Presentation: Capsule; Tablet; Sublingual Troche
Common dose range: PO: 2.5mg-40mg daily
Active life: 9h-12h
Treatment and Indication:
Oxandrolone is indicated as an adjunctive therapy tp promote weight-gain after weightloss following extensive surgery, chronic infections; or severe trauma, and in some patients who without definite pathophysiologic reasons fail to gain or maintain normal weight.
Oxandrolone is indicated to offset the protein catabolism associated with prolonged administration o corticosteroids.
++ Oxandrolone is also used to offset severe protein catabolism which occurs with wasting syndrome associated with HIV/AIDS, Cancer, prolonged physical stress (combat); and sometimes unknown causes
Oxandrolone is indicated for the relief of bone pain frequently accompanying osteoporosis.
Oxandrolone is indicated for weight-gain in HIV/AIDs patients suffering from weight-loss
Oxandrolone is indicated for wound healing, most commonly for the treatment of burns. ( In a randomized, double-blind study, patients with 40% total body surface area burns were selected to receive standard burn care plus oxandrolone, or without oxandrolone. Those treated with oxandrolone showed improved body composition, preserved muscle mass and reduced hospital stay time.)

Stanozolol
Presentation: Tablet/Capsule
Common dose range: 2.5mg-20mg PO daily
Active life: ~8h
Treatment and Indications;
Stanozolol is indicated prophylactically to decrease the frequency and severity of attacks of hereditary angioedema. Given the serious potential adverse reactions, patients should be placed on the lowest possible effective dose.
++ Stanozolol is used in patients suffering from extreme wasting and rapid weight-loss (HIV/AIDS; Cancer Cachexia where anabolism is required within a short period of time in order to preserve the life of the patient. Other therapies, such as oxandrolone or nandrolone, have a delayed response due to longer half-life and or mechanism of action. In these extreme wasting cases, stanozolol serves as a more aggressive treatment.
