Description

Anadrol is an anabolic steroid. Improves nitrogen balance when the diet is sufficient in calories. Anadrol's actions are similar to testosterone and can cause serious impairments in sexual and physical growth when administered to children. Children who have taken this drug develop grotesque physical features and usually have disordered sexual function. PHARMACOLOGY Anadrol, is sold under the pharmaceutical name Oxymetholone, and has a half-life of approximately 8-10 hours. This means that it stays in your body for 2-4 times longer. The reason it stays in the body longer is due to its affinity for fatty tissues where it is stored. Biochemical analyzes have shown that Anadrol can be detected in the body up to 2 months after the last dose. Due to this long half-life, it is not the preferred drug of choice for many body builders. Most experts recommend it as an off-season bodybuilding drug. Indications In clinical medicine, Anadrol has been indicated in the treatment of anemias of a variety of different causes. The most common anemia treated with Anadrol is iron deficiency anemia, acquired aplastic anemia, congenital aplastic anemia, myelofibrosis, and anemia caused by the use of immunosuppressive drugs. Anadrol is not a replacement for iron, blood transfusion, vitamin, folate or other nutrients. It is only used to treat these anemias after they have not responded to all other supportive measures. The drug has also been recommended for the treatment of wasting seen in HIV patients and in people with severe osteoporosis.However, due to increased awareness of its potential side effects, most doctors do not prescribe it. Dosage Anadrol dosage is based on body weight. In both adults and children it is about 1.5-2 mg/kg (50-200 mg/week). When Anadrol is given to treat any of the above medical conditions, its response is never immediate and can take a minimum of 2-3 weeks. A slightly lower dose is required in some patients to maintain its benefit in treating aplastic anemias. Anadrol is only available in tablets and is never administered intravenously.
