Oxymetholone – Anadrol

Anadrol (oxymetholone) is a powerful synthetic steroid available in tablet form. This potent oral anabolic steroid possesses significant androgenic properties, similar to testosterone. Its ability to improve nitrogen balance makes it effective when combined with a calorie-rich diet. However, Anadrol can cause severe side effects in children, including distorted physical characteristics and sexual dysfunction.

Pharmacology

Anadrol, marketed as Oxymetholone, has a half-life of 8-10 hours, allowing it to remain active in the body for 2-4 times longer, primarily due to its storage in fatty tissues. Studies indicate that it can be detected for up to 2 months post-administration, prompting many bodybuilders to reserve it for off-season cycles.

Indications

Clinically, Anadrol is prescribed for various anemias, notably iron deficiency anemia and aplastic anemia, particularly when other treatments have failed. It is not a substitute for essential nutrients like iron, blood transfusions, or vitamins. Additionally, Anadrol is sometimes indicated for muscle wasting in HIV patients and severe osteoporosis, though many physicians exercise caution due to its side effects.

Dosage

The recommended dosage of Anadrol is based on body weight, typically ranging from 1.5-2 mg/kg (50-200mg/week). Clinical effects may not be immediate and can take 2-3 weeks. A lower dose may be necessary for some patients to sustain the benefits, particularly with aplastic anemias. The medication is exclusively available as a tablet and is not administered intravenously.

Side Effects

Potential side effects of Anadrol include:

• Jaundice
• Liver cancer risk
• Pediatric penile enlargement
• Testicular atrophy and low sperm count in adults
• Impotence and painful erections
• In women: clitoral enlargement and menstrual irregularities
• Insomnia
• Gynecomastia
• Deepening of voice
• Excessive hair growth
• Fatigue
• Body swelling
• Elevated blood sugar levels

Contraindications

• Prostate cancers
• Male and female breast cancers
• Pregnant individuals
• Liver disorders
• Drug allergies

Bodybuilding

Anadrol is popular among athletes for its powerful anabolic effects and affordability. It is often acquired through the black market, with many bodybuilders purchasing online or via forged prescriptions. After 3-4 weeks of use, gradual weight gain occurs, although claims of rapid results are exaggerated. To maintain weight, prolonged use of 3-6 weeks is typical; many users cycle this steroid with others. Notably, Anadrol aids in recovery after injuries, though it may cause water retention, viewed as beneficial by some athletes. However, it carries serious risks of liver damage, psychiatric effects, and a potential increase in aggression.

Cost

The price for 100 tablets of Anadrol ranges from $150 to $200.

Control

The abuse of Anadrol has led to stricter regulations in North America, classifying it as a Schedule III controlled substance that requires a physician’s prescription. Violations related to its sale or distribution can result in severe penalties.

Detection

All sporting organizations prohibit Anadrol, and athletes are routinely tested. Positive results typically result in suspension. Its metabolites can be detected in urine for 20-45 days following the last dose.
