It could be that the anti TRT crowd and feminist groups want to make our lives miserable for us
Not going to make a shit lick a difference for us canucks as we have never had the option other than UGL!
I used to get veterinary Vetoquinol Anatest (TP) back in the day!
Slim pickins here when it comes to injectable esterified T as we only have TC (big pharma or generic) or TE and unfortunately our beloved big pharma Delatestryl was recently discontinued so now you are stuck with the generic.
Gotta love that 100 mg/mL strength TC LMFAO!
You want ND or oxo you are going UGL unless you have a legitimate medical reason to be prescribed such!
The laws are very strict in Canada!

Medical uses
Nandrolone esters are used clinically, although increasingly rarely, for people in catabolic states with major burns, cancer, and AIDS, and an ophthalmological formulation was available to support cornea healing.
[18]: 134
The positive effects of nandrolone esters include muscle growth, appetite stimulation and increased
red blood cell production,[

bone density.
[19] Clinical studies have shown them to be effective in treating
anemia,
osteoporosis, and
breast cancer.

Medical uses
Oxandrolone has been researched and prescribed as a treatment for a wide variety of conditions. It was FDA-approved for treating
bone pain associated with
osteoporosis, aiding
weight gain following surgery or
physical trauma, during
chronic infection, or in the context of unexplained
weight loss, and counteracting the
catabolic effect of long-term
corticosteroid therapy.
[16][17] Oxandrolone is used to quicken recovery from severe burns.
[8][18]
In the management of severe burn injuries, numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the therapeutic advantages of oxandrolone, and it was widely adopted as a standard treatment protocol in burn centers globally. Meta-analyses of clinical trials substantiate the efficacy of oxandrolone in severe burn cases: the benefits are manifold and significant, and include a reduction in catabolic weight loss, augmentation of lean body mass, enhancement of donor-site wound healing, and a decrease in the duration of both intensive care unit (ICU) and overall hospital stay. These benefits do not appear to be accompanied by an increased risk of infection, hyperglycemia, or hepatic dysfunction, which underscores the safety profile of oxandrolone in severe burn patient population.
[18] Data analysis confirms oxandrolone's significant advantage in promoting skin healing as an adjunct therapy for adult burn patients.
[19] Oxandrolone improves weight regain, bone mineral density, lean body mass, and accelerates wound healing for donor graft sites.
[20] Oxandrolone is recommended as an adjunctive therapy, alongside insulin, metformin, and closely monitored propranolol, in severe burn patients, for metabolic and nutritional support.
[21][22] Oxandrolone improves both short-term and long-term outcomes in people recovering from severe burns and was well-established as a safe treatment for this indication.
[8][9] One of the underlying mechanisms in burn management is that oxandrolone helps reduce
hypermetabolic response, which is characterized by increased energy expenditure, elevated stress hormones levels such as
cortisol,
insulin resistance, muscle wasting, and impaired wound healing; this response is reduced by improving whole-body nitrogen balance as well as preserving lean body mass during recovery.
[23]
As of 2019, oxandrolone was prescribed
off-label for the development of girls with
Turner syndrome,
[24] and counteract
wasting of diverse origin.
[24]
As of 2012, oxandrolone was used in the treatment of
idiopathic short stature,
anemia,
hereditary angioedema,
[25] hypogonadism and
alcoholic hepatitis.

Medical research established the effectiveness of oxandrolone in aiding the development of girls with
Turner syndrome. Although oxandrolone had long been used to accelerate growth in children with idiopathic short stature, it is unlikely to increase adult height, and in some cases may even decrease it;[
citation needed] as such, as of 2015, oxandrolone has largely been replaced by
growth hormone for this use.
[27][
needs update] However, a 2019
Cochrane review comparing effects of adding oxandrolone to growth hormone treatment to growth hormone alone found moderate-quality evidence that the addition of oxandrolone led to an increase in final adult height of girls with
Turner syndrome, and low-quality evidence showed no increase in adverse effects.
[28] When the same review assessed the effects of adding oxandrolone to growth hormone treatment on speech, cognition and psychological status, the results were inconclusive due to very-low quality evidence.
[28] Children with
idiopathic short stature or
Turner syndrome were given doses of oxandrolone far smaller than those given to people with burns to minimize the likelihood of virilization and premature maturation.

Oxandrolone shows positive effects on cardiometabolic health and visual, motor, and psychosocial functions in adolescent males with preserved testosterone production, such as those with
Klinefelter syndrome.
