Patient ( my mother, age 80 years)
Hello doctor,
I will be immensely indebted if you give your views on the use of Deca Durabolin 25 injection for my mother who is bed ridden for the last 10 months.
It is pertinent to mention that she is undergoing physiotherapy and is able to do the Quadricep drill and spinal exercises without any difficulty while lying on bed.
Actually she is suffering from osteoporosis and had a compression fracture of the spine ( D11&12).
Now the doctor attending her has prescribed Deca Durabolin 25 injection. But we are a bit wary of the side effects, particularly the effect on heart ( although my mother has no heart related ailments).
The doctor has recommended only 1 dose.
I am attaching the prescription and the blood reports the doctor asked for.
Thanks and regards
