Brief Answer:
NO. Decdan is steroid and not indicated for body building

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

Decdan contains dexomethasone and a steroid. It is not indicated for body building. It can cause weight gain as a side effect but that is not good for overall health. And for athletes it is prohibited drug. There are lots of side effects of its short term and long term use. So I do not recommend it at all for body building.

The best way for body building is exercise and high protein diet, no specific medicine is needed.

Consult physiotherapist for specific muscle exercises and join gym later on.
For muscles building main important nutrition is protein. Milk, eggs, sprouts, legumes, pulses and meat are high protein diet include the in your daily food. With consistent efforts you can build body in healthy way.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
