Pharma Lab Oxymetholone 50 tabs (50 mg/tab)

Oxymetholone – Anadrol

Anadrol (oxymetholone) is a potent synthetic steroid available in tablet form, recognized for its powerful oral anabolic and androgenic effects.

This anabolic steroid enhances nitrogen balance effectively, especially with a caloric-rich diet. Its effects mimic those of testosterone but can severely hinder sexual and physical development in children, leading to abnormal physical characteristics and sexual dysfunction.

Pharmacology

Marketed as Oxymetholone, Anadrol has a half-life of approximately 8-10 hours, resulting in prolonged retention within the body due to its storage in fatty tissues. Biochemical studies reveal that this compound can remain detectable for up to two months post-administration. Despite its effectiveness, athletes often do not favor Anadrol for competition use, preferring it as an off-season supplement.

Indications

Clinically, Anadrol is indicated for varying types of anemia, with the primary application being in iron deficiency anemia and other forms, including aplastic anemia. It is crucial to note that this drug is not a substitute for iron, blood transfusions, or essential nutrients and is prescribed only when other treatments have failed.

It has also been suggested for managing wasting associated with HIV and severe osteoporosis, yet due to its potential for side effects, it is not commonly prescribed.

Dosage

Dosing of Anadrol is determined by body weight, typically ranging from 1.5-2 mg/kg (50-200 mg/week). Therapeutic responses may take 2-3 weeks to manifest, with some patients requiring lower doses for optimal results. Anadrol is exclusively available in tablet form and never administered intravenously.

Side Effects

Potential side effects of Anadrol include:

• jaundice
• risk of liver cancer
• penile enlargement (if used pre-puberty)
• testicular atrophy and reduced sperm count (if used post-puberty)
• impotence and painful erections
• clitoral enlargement and menstrual disorders in women
• insomnia
• gynecomastia
• voice deepening
• excessive body hair
• fatigue
• edema
• elevated blood sugar levels

Contraindications

• prostate cancer
• male and female breast cancer
• pregnancy
• liver diseases
• allergic reactions to the drug

Bodybuilding

Anadrol is widely utilized by athletes and bodybuilders for its strong anabolic properties and relatively low cost. It is frequently obtained through illegal channels, including online black markets and forged prescriptions. Weight gain effects typically manifest after 3-4 weeks of use. However, caution is advised, as reports claim that results can appear sooner, which is misleading. To maintain benefits, users often cycle Anadrol for 3-6 weeks, often in conjunction with other anabolic steroids. Notably, athletes have reported using Anadrol to aid recovery post-injury.

Due to its considerable side effects and liver cancer risk, Anadrol use should be limited. Many bodybuilders alternate it with other compounds, recycling periodically.

Concerning mental health, prolonged use of Anadrol may lead to notable mood alterations, including irritability and aggressive tendencies.

Dosage for bodybuilding is empirical, often starting at 50 mg daily for 2-3 weeks, with increments to 75 mg depending on the body’s response. Usage is rarely recommended beyond 6-8 weeks, and users should be wary of counterfeit products.

Cost

The price of Anadrol is relatively high, with 100 tablets priced between $150 and $200.

Control

The rampant abuse of Anadrol has prompted stricter regulations in North America, categorizing it as a Schedule III controlled substance requiring a physician’s prescription. Illegal possession or distribution can result in hefty fines or imprisonment.

Detection

Anadrol is banned in all competitive sports and is routinely tested for in athletes. Positive results typically result in suspension, and the drug can be detected in urine for 20-45 days following the last dose.
