Euro-Pharmacies Oxymetholex 40 tabs (50 mg/tab)

Oxymetholone – Anadrol

Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is a powerful synthetic anabolic and androgenic steroid available in tablet form. This potent oral agent is highly effective for enhancing nitrogen balance in calorie-sufficient diets. However, its testosterone-like effects can lead to serious growth impairments, especially in children, causing undesirable physical characteristics and sexual dysfunction.

Pharmacology

Anadrol, marketed under the name Oxymetholone, boasts a half-life of 8-10 hours, remaining in the system for up to two months post-administration due to its accumulation in fatty tissues. This prolonged presence renders it less favorable among bodybuilders, who often reserve it for off-season muscle building.

Indications

Clinically, Anadrol is prescribed primarily for various forms of anemia, including iron deficiency anemia and aplastic anemia, but is not a substitute for essential nutrients or blood transfusions. It may also assist in treating weight loss related to HIV or severe osteoporosis, though its prescription is cautious given its side effects.

Dosage

The recommended dose of Anadrol varies by body weight, with typical guidelines suggesting 1.5-2mg/kg (50-200mg/week). Initial therapeutic responses are generally not immediate, often taking 2-3 weeks to manifest, with doses occasionally adjusted based on patient needs. It is solely available in tablet form.

Side Effects

While effective, Anadrol carries potential side effects such as:

• jaundice
• risk of liver cancer
• penile enlargement if administered pre-puberty
• testicular atrophy and reduced sperm count post-puberty
• erectile dysfunction and painful erections
• in women: clitoral growth and menstrual irregularities
• sleep disturbances
• gynecomastia
• deepened voice
• increased body hair
• fatigue
• edema
• elevated blood sugar levels

Contraindications

• prostate cancer
• male breast cancer
• female breast cancer
• pregnant women
• individuals with liver disorders
• those allergic to the drug

Bodybuilding

Anadrol is highly favored in the bodybuilding community for its potency and affordability. Easily obtainable through black markets, many athletes source it online or via forged prescriptions. Weight gain typically begins to manifest after 3-4 weeks of oral administration; however, maintaining gains usually requires a 3-6 week regimen. Commonly partnered with growth hormone and thyroxin, the drug promotes water retention, which athletes often find beneficial for joint protection. Despite its benefits, aggressive side effects and potential liver cancer risk necessitate caution in usage, with recommendations suggesting periodic cycling and substitution with other anabolic alternatives.

Cost

Purchasing Anadrol can be costly, with prices ranging from $150-$200 for a supply of 100 tablets.

Control

Due to widespread misuse, Anadrol is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance in North America, requiring a physician’s prescription. Trafficking or illicit distribution can lead to legal consequences including substantial fines and imprisonment.

Detection

This substance is banned by all athletic organizations, subjecting athletes to routine testing, with positive results typically resulting in suspension. Anadrol and its metabolites can be detected in urine for 20-45 days after the last dose.
