About Decamed 50 mg Injection 1 ml
Decamed 50 mg Injection 1 ml belongs to the group of medications called ‘anabolic steroids’ used to treat osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which bone becomes thin or weak. When a woman reaches menopause stage, ovaries stop making estrogen, a female hormone responsible for bone health. Due to the deficiency of estrogen, inadequate bone formation occurs, resulting in the weakening of bones. The earlier a woman reaches to her menopause, the more the chances of osteoporosis. This condition can result in brittle or broken bones if prompt treatment is not given.
Decamed 50 mg Injection 1 ml contains ‘Nandrolone’ which is a steroid used to prevent bone loss. It works by inhibiting bone resorption (breaking down of bone tissue) and promote bone formation. It can effectively delay bone loss.
The common side-effects of Decamed 50 mg Injection 1 ml are fluid retention in the tissues (swelling of the ankles or feet or increased blood pressure), masculinization (an increase in male characteristics in women) such as a change in voice, hoarseness, increase in body or facial hair or acne, increased libido (sexual desire), nausea and itching. It may also alter blood tests such as increased haemoglobin levels, changes in blood lipids (fats) and liver function tests. Inform your doctor if any of these side-effects persist or worsen.
Do not take Decamed 50 mg Injection 1 ml if you are allergic to ‘Nandrolone’ or any ingredients such as Arachis oil or peanut oil and benzyl alcohol present in it. It should not be given in conditions such as breast cancer in women with hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the body), diagnosed or suspected breast cancer in men, kidney diseases and diagnosed or suspected prostate cancer. It should not be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoporosis: It is a medical condition that causes thinning and weakening of the bones. It usually happens in women after menopause when there is decreased production of estrogen in the body. Estrogen is a female hormone responsible for bone health. Due to a lack of estrogen, the bone starts becoming weaker due to bone loss. The earlier a woman reaches the menopause stage, the greater the chances of osteoporosis. In starting days, osteoporosis does not show any symptoms. However, if proper treatment is not provided, then it can even lead to broken bones. Initially, the bones don't hurt and breaks in the spine's bones may go unseen until they cause height loss. In osteoporosis, bones can break even during daily activities like lifting or even from minor activities. Bones usually occur at the hip, spine or wrist which can even lead to stooped posture (dowager’s hump) and loss of movement.
