British Dragon Oxydrol Tablets 100 tabs (50 mg/tab)

Oxymetholon - Anadrol

Anadrol (oxymetholone) is a potent, synthetic steroidal drug available in tablet form. Known for its strong oral anabolic and androgenic properties, it enhances nitrogen balance when calories are sufficiently high.

This anabolic steroid mimics testosterone, potentially leading to significant impairment in sexual and physical growth in children, resulting in abnormal physical traits and sexual dysfunction.

Farmacologie

Also marketed as oxymetholone, Anadrol has a half-life of approximately 8-10 hours, allowing it to remain in the body 2-4 times longer due to its affinity for fatty tissues. Biochemical analyses indicate detection in the body for up to 2 months post-dose, making it less favored among bodybuilders, who typically use it during off-season phases.

Indicaties

Clinically, Anadrol is prescribed to treat various types of anemia, especially iron deficiency anemia, acquired aplastic anemia, congenital aplastic anemia, myelofibrosis, and anemia resulting from immunosuppression. It is not a substitute for iron, blood transfusions, or other supplements and is typically considered only after other treatments fail.

It has also been suggested for addressing weight loss in HIV patients and osteoporosis, but is rarely prescribed due to its potential side effects.

Dosering

Dosing of Anadrol is weight-based, around 1.5-2mg/kg (50-200mg/week) for both adults and children. Therapeutic effects may not be immediate, necessitating a minimum of 2-3 weeks, and some patients may require reduced dosing to sustain benefits in aplastic anemias. Available solely in tablet form, it is never administered intravenously.

Bodybuilding

Anadrol is widely utilized among athletes and bodybuilders due to its powerful anabolic effects and affordability. Often accessible through illicit means, users frequently procure it online or from fraudulent prescriptions, with significant circulation from Mexico and Thailand.

Weight gain typically manifests after 3-4 weeks of oral administration, with many asserting results appear within 1-2 weeks—this claim is largely inaccurate. To maintain weight increases, users generally cycle for at least 3-6 weeks, often combining it with growth hormone and thyroxin. While it may cause water retention, users find it beneficial for joint protection.

Reportedly, Anadrol can enhance recovery from injuries; however, the potential for serious side effects, including liver cancer, necessitates cautious use, with many bodybuilders alternating it with other steroids.

Some anecdotal evidence highlights unpredictable psychological effects, including irritability and increased aggression in long-term users. Initial dosing recommendations suggest starting at 50mg daily, increasing to 75mg if no improvements are noted, and limiting usage to 6-8 weeks. Various brands, including Thai 50 and Strol V, are available, though counterfeit products are common.

Kosten

Pricing for Anadrol ranges from $150-$200 for 100 tablets.

Controle

The prevalence of Anadrol abuse has prompted stricter regulations in North America, classified as a Schedule III controlled substance, necessitating a physician’s prescription. Distribution or selling without legality incurs severe fines or imprisonment.

Opsporing

As Anadrol is banned across all sports organizations, athletes are routinely tested for it, with positive results likely leading to suspension. Detection can occur in urine for 20-45 days following the last dose.
