Metenolone enanthate is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) and is used mainly in the treatment of anemia due to bone marrow failure.
As a derivative of DHT, metenolone, the active form of metenolone enanthate, is not aromatized, and so has no propensity for producing estrogenic side effects like gynecomastia. As an AAS, metenolone enanthate is antigonadotropic and can suppress the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and produce reversible hypogonadism and infertility.
Metenolone enanthate has been studied in the treatment of breast cancer.
