Androstanolone enanthate

Androstanolone enanthate (brand name Anaboleen Depot), also known as stanolone enanthate or dihydrotestosterone heptanoate (DHTH), as well as 5α-androstan-17β-ol-3-one 17β-heptanoate, is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid and a dihydrotestosterone ester.[1][2] It is used as an injectable and acts as a prodrug of androstanolone (stanolone, dihydrotestosterone, DHT). The drug has been studied in and found to be effective in the treatment of gynecomastia in boys and adult men.[3][4][5] The pharmacology of androstanolone enanthate has been studied.[6]
