Testosterone decanoate (BANTooltip British Approved Name) is an androgen and anabolic steroid and a testosterone ester.[1][2][3][4] It is a component of Sustanon, along with testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylpropionate, and testosterone isocaproate.[4][5] The medication has not been marketed as a single-drug preparation.[4] Testosterone decanoate has been investigated as a potential long-acting injectable male contraceptive.[4][6][7][8] It has a longer duration of action than testosterone enanthate, but its duration is not as prolonged as that of testosterone undecanoate.[4]
