I really think some steroid profiles and other people are confusing these two drugs (caverject and esiclene) because of the fact that some brand name caverject is sold as "Caverject Esiclene." My real problem with this is that they have completely different chemical names: Caverject= (11alpha, 13E, 15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid and Formebolone/esiclene= 2-formyl-11a,17ß-dihydroxy-17a-methylandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one
Now, Formebolone's (original esiclene that levrone used) "index" name does sound similar to caverject's "chemical" name but is still not the same. Formebolone's index name = 11 alpha,17 beta-dihydroxy-17-methyl- 3-oxoandrosta-1,4-diene-2-carboxaldehyde The only thing that is the same though is that they are both 11 alpha classified- whatever that means. Other than that it looks, to this layman anyway, like they are two different drugs.
Can anyone else shed a little light on this?
