NORETHANDROLONE, a nandrolone derivative, is a synthetic hormone with anabolic and androgenic properties and moderate progestational activity. It was used to treat, among others, anorexia nervosa, severe burns and trauma, decubitus ulcers, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal diseases. Its list of prescriptions included preparation for and recovery from surgery, bone fracture healing, severe or prolonged illness, and various forms of malnourishment in adults and children. It was withdrawn for the market in most countries in the 1960s, however, it remains viable on the veterinary drug market in Australia.
