Schering Nebido® - Testoterone undecanoate, ~3 month ester !

[Alpine]

TweetSchering AG (NYSE: SHR; FSE: SCH) received approval in Finland, the first European country, for Nebido™, a new type of depot preparation for the treatment of hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency) in men. Following the European Mutual Recognition Process, Schering expects approval for Nebido™ to follow in more European countries in the course of 2004. In addition, Schering plans to apply for approval in Latin American countries and Canada next year.

"Requiring only four injections per year, Nebido™ represents a major improvement for men suffering from testosterone deficiency. Previously, patients received on average 22 injections per year. Additionally the unique formulation of Nebido™ allows for a blood level of testosterone within the physiological range and is therefore more compatible with the patients needs,"

Still, its not as advanced as it sounds. This is basically like Test w/ a Deca ester so for our purposes the injections would still need to be much more often. However, this is a cool choice for a cycle - could help cut down on injection frequency for Test quite a bit.

That is unless im missing something....

TweetWhile I've never used it, the undeconate ester has been around for a while.

This will never work for body builders for the following reason:

1) Test undeconate breaks down to only a 63% ratio of test to ester. So 100mg of test undeconate only contains 63mg testosterone.

2) Even tho you only need to inject it once every 10 days or so, your going to end up injecting more frequently anyway because you'll want to inject more than 3cc's every 10 days.

3) This ester will remain detectable in the bloodstream for a LONG time

4) Body builders want a drug that gets in and out of their system quickly.


Something interesting to note: Once every 3 months will work for HRT, but not bodybuilding. For HRT even sust is only shot once a month.

TweetYa thats kind of what I suspected since its developed specifically with HRT in mind. I didnt realize it was that bad though. I guess HRT and a "Bulking Cycle" have even less in common than I thought
