The effectiveness remains in the body for longer period; approximately 2 to 4 weeks. It is quite effective with a single injection.

Unlike testosterone, it slightly differs in chemical composition and hence in side effects too. Side effects administered after the intake of anabolic steroids, such as baldness and acne are not apparent with Deca Durabolin.

It is not famous as an athletic steroid, rather as an armature, because it is progestin in nature, and it is not a muscle builder as such. Comparing to anabolic steroids, Deca Durabolin is a slow acting drug. Intake cycles of this steroid are effective if it is taken as 8 to 12 weeks cycle.
