What are your thoughts on long term, low dose nandrolone as part of TRT treatment. A safe addition to testosterone full time, or should it be cycled on/off?
AlphaMD's Answer
We do this with certain patients, though we normally request some additional check-ins and lab work. Many times it is prescribed due to it's beneficial effects on collagen (cartilage and tendons). We have seen many men with joint degeneration or injury get significant improvements and even resolution on nandrolone. If this medicine what can improve their lives, we are happy to facilitate that.
However, most men do not need this added to their TRT to get the benefits they are looking. There are some impacts like potential libido/erectile or thyroid issues, which do cause us to usually go with a 90 day on 90 day off approach just to be safe.
