Anabolic Steroids
This medicine belongs to the group of medicines known as anabolic
(an-a-BOL-ik) steroids. They are related to testosterone, a male sex
hormone. Anabolic steroids help to rebuild tissues that have become
weak because of serious injury or illness. A diet high in proteins and
calories is necessary with anabolic steroid treatment.
Anabolic steroids are used for several reasons:
- to help patients gain weight after a severe illness, injury, or
continuing infection. They also are used when patients fail to gain or
maintain normal weight because of unexplained medical reasons.
-to treat certain types of anemia.
-to treat certain kinds of breast cancer in some women.
-to treat hereditary angioedema, which causes swelling of the face, arms, legs, throat, windpipe, bowels, or sexual organs.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Many side effects have reportedly been associated with chronic use of
high doses of all oral anabolic-androgenic hormones including
oxymetholone: high blood pressure, water retention, prostate gland
enlargement, gynecomastia (abnormal breast tissue growth in males) and
liver damage.
Oxydex/

Anapolon
(Oxymetholone)
is the anabolic steroid most associated with premature hair loss. As
with all oral anabolic-androgenic hormones, routine blood tests from
people taking
Oxydex/
Anadrol/
Anapolon
(Oxymetholone)
show unusual levels of blood lipids (fats), including lowered high
density lipoprotein (HDL) and elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol. Rarely are these drugs associated with diarrhea, nausea or
vomiting.
A 1990 non-scientific poll of 563 U.S. athletes who used
anabolic steroids surveyed reasons for drug use, drug sources, perceived effectiveness, side effects and drug preferences. While
Anadrol-50
received the greatest number of first-place rankings for effectiveness,
it was also associated with the greatest number of troublesome side
effects. At least 75% of the steroids used by respondents were
counterfeit and obtained illegally, and most were used in doses far
higher and for a longer period than most physicians would prescribe.
Athletes who use anabolic steroids often use more than 1 at a time, a
fact that must be considered when evaluating the potential effects and
side effects of
