Dive Doctor?

How could I find out what the use of testosterone cypinate does in relationship to nitrogen release. I know in the warnings on the package it says one of the effects is a slower release of nitrogen from the muscle tissue. Is there a Doctor in the House? (Or Pharmacist) Thanks.

I would assume that you shouldn't dive while on it.

If it slow's down nitrogen release you might as well throw you dive charts and computers away.


by the way "In the male, excessive doses or prolonged administration of testosterone cypionate may cause inhibition of testicular function "

The nitrogen retention referred to is the retention of nitrogen compounds which are used in protein synthesis. It doesn't have anything to do with on and off-gassing of molecular nitrogen. I was unable to find any specific information about the use of anabolic steroids and scuba diving.
