Oxymetholone – Anadrol
Anadrol, known scientifically as oxymetholone, is a potent synthetic anabolic steroid available in tablet form. This powerful drug is recognized for its muscle-building properties.
As an anabolic steroid, Anadrol enhances nitrogen balance when the diet is calorie-sufficient. Its effects mimic those of testosterone and may lead to severe consequences for children, including abnormal physical features and sexual dysfunction.
Pharmacology
Anadrol, or Oxymetholone, boasts a half-life of 8-10 hours, allowing it to remain in the body 2-4 times longer due to its affinity for fatty tissues. Biochemical assessments indicate it can persist in the system for up to 2 months post-administration. Consequently, many bodybuilders refrain from using it as a primary steroid, opting instead for off-season muscle building.
Indications
In clinical settings, Anadrol is prescribed for various anemias, notably iron deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, myelofibrosis, and anemia due to immunosuppressive medications. It’s essential to note that Anadrol should not replace iron or other essential nutrients and is typically used when other treatments have proven ineffective.
Additionally, it may be considered for managing weight loss in HIV patients and those suffering from severe osteoporosis; however, its side effects have made many physicians hesitant to prescribe it.
Dosage
The recommended Anadrol dosage is 1.5-2mg/kg (50-200mg/week) based on body weight for both adults and children. The response may not be immediate, often requiring 2-3 weeks for noticeable effects. A lower dosage may be necessary for treating aplastic anemias. Anadrol is exclusively available in tablet form, never administered intravenously.
Side Effects
Before starting Anadrol, it’s crucial to understand potential side effects, which may include:
- jaundice
- risk of liver cancer
- penile enlargement before puberty
- testicular atrophy and reduced sperm count post-puberty
- impotence and painful erections
- clitoral enlargement and menstrual irregularities in women
- insomnia
- gynecomastia
- voice deepening
- excessive hair growth
- fatigue
- body swelling
- elevated blood sugar levels
Contraindications
- prostate cancer
- male breast cancer
- female breast cancer
- pregnancy
- liver issues
- allergic reactions to the drug
Bodybuilding
Anadrol is popular among athletes and bodybuilders due to its potency and affordability. Many procure it via online sources or forged prescriptions, with smuggling from Mexico and Thailand also common.
When taken orally, Anadrol typically results in weight gain within 3-4 weeks, though claims of quicker results are misleading. Sustaining these gains usually necessitates a cycle of 3-6 weeks. Many athletes combine it with growth hormone and thyroid hormones. Although water retention is a notable side effect, some athletes believe it protects their joints.
Additionally, Anadrol is reported to aid recovery after injuries.
However, due to its severe side effects, including potential liver cancer, its use should be limited. Bodybuilders often cycle Anadrol with other anabolic steroids to maintain muscle mass. Reports also indicate it may lead to psychological effects such as irritability and aggression.
For bodybuilding purposes, experts typically recommend starting with a 50mg daily dose for 2-3 weeks and then increasing to 75mg if needed. However, it’s advised not to exceed 6-8 weeks of use. Brands like Thai 50 and Strol V are prevalent, yet counterfeit products are commonly encountered.
Cost
Anadrol is relatively expensive, with 100 tablets priced between $150 and $200.
Control
The misuse of Anadrol has led to stricter regulations in North America, classifying it as a Schedule III controlled substance requiring a prescription. Possession for distribution can result in hefty fines and imprisonment.
Detection
Anadrol is banned by all sports organizations and is regularly screened in athletes. Positive results typically result in suspensions. The drug and its metabolites can be detected in urine for 20-45 days after the last dose.
