Drugs to heal tendons?

[Nicoli Krozinski]

As I am getting stronger, I am starting to get tendonitis in my elbows. Are there any drugs - prescription or otherwise - that help to heal tendons and make them grow stronger at rates similar to the gains made in muscle with anabolics?

I have heard deca mentioned a couple of times. I thought this was more for increasing fluid in the joints for added lubrication.

Any and all ideas are welcome.

The only thing I know is growth hormone. It strengthens tendons and ligaments. Some bro's have used it with good results on torn tendons. Deca lubricates the joints, it doesn't strengthen tendons.

IMO just eating correctly and not increasing the weight too quickly is the safest, most effective way to "heal" tendons. Also keep loose via stretching and I am a firm believer in regular (weekly) deep tissue massage therapy.
