Stanozolol – Winstrol

Winstrol, known scientifically as stanozolol, is a synthetic anabolic steroid closely related to testosterone. This compound exhibits both anabolic and androgenic properties, potentially causing virilizing effects in females.

Once easily accessible, Winstrol is now challenging to procure due to a rise in counterfeit products online. Many reported instances highlight the presence of fake formulations and contaminants sold over the internet. The legal landscape regarding the sale and distribution of anabolic steroids is strictly regulated by the DEA, monitoring various platforms to curb illegal activities. Numerous products marketed online have shown to contain benign cholesterol-like molecules mixed with harmful substances, making internet purchases a risky venture.

Ενδείξεις

Winstrol is a synthetic derivative of testosterone initially developed by Winthrop Laboratories in the 1960s, marking its status as one of the oldest anabolic steroids available. It is primarily indicated for treating hereditary angioedema and has also been trialed for addressing severe anemia and weight loss in HIV-positive patients. Historically, it saw application in livestock for weight gain; however, due to widespread misuse and side effects, its intramuscular formulation is rare today.

Δοσολογία στην Ιατρική

For veterinary use, Winstrol acts as an intramuscular agent to promote weight gain in livestock. For human applications, it is available as an oral tablet. Typically, stanozolol is administered at 2 mg three times per day for hereditary angioedema, often continued for 1-3 months with minimal side effects. While the anabolic effects emerge over 3-4 weeks, mild androgenic effects manifest at higher doses.

Παρενέργειες

As with all anabolic steroids, Winstrol presents certain side effects, although they are uncommon and generally well-tolerated. Common side effects include:

• ίκτερος
• hepatic necrosis (common)
• rare liver cancers
• ατροφία των όρχεων
• μειωμένη λίμπιντο
• mood alterations, depression, anger, and insomnia
• gastrointestinal issues like nausea and diarrhea
• γυναικομαστία
• women experiencing deepening of voice
• απώλεια μαλλιών
• increased hair growth in women
• κατακράτηση υγρών
• elevated blood sugar
• reduced HDL cholesterol

While most side effects revert after discontinuation, some virilizing effects may persist. Women using this drug should cease at the first sign of virilization, as some masculine traits could become permanent. Reports of severe liver damage associated with Winstrol underscore the importance of regular liver function monitoring for frequent steroid users.

Αντενδείξεις

Winstrol is contraindicated for individuals with:

• καρκίνος του ανδρικού μαστού
• καρκίνος του προστάτη
• females with breast cancer or hypercalcemia
• έγκυες γυναίκες
• allergy to steroidal drugs

Dosage for Bodybuilders

<p<stanozolol Winstrol is prescribed at 2-6 mg daily, but bodybuilders often exceed this prescribed limit, using doses 5-15 times higher. Reports of doses ranging from 30-100 mg/day are common, although the high oral dosing presents significant liver toxicity risks. Alternative methods include intramuscular injections, typically around 50mg/day, changing injection sites regularly to prevent complications.

The injectable formulation appears as a milky white solution with microcrystals, but counterfeit products are prevalent, making verification challenging. Users typically incorporate Winstrol 1-2 months before competitions, stopping 2-3 weeks prior to avoid detection.

Most users observe muscle gains after 3-4 weeks; however, high doses can be detrimental and yield no substantial benefits. Experts advise limiting stanozolol usage to 4-6 weeks.

Bodybuilders often cycle Winstrol with other compounds such as Masteron, Equipose, Oxandrolone, GH, and thyroxin, sometimes adding Clomid to mitigate testosterone suppression. To combat water retention, athletes may also utilize diuretics.

An emerging alternative, furazabol, shares similarities with stanozolol but notably improves cholesterol profiles, albeit at low doses and for short durations. Long-term high-dose use of any anabolic steroids is known to diminish HDL while elevating LDL levels.

Γυναίκες

Women frequently turn to stanozolol due to its robust anabolic qualities coupled with minimal androgenic effects, which reduces the likelihood of virilization. However, extended use or higher doses can lead to irreversible masculinizing traits.

Αθλητισμός

Winstrol is prohibited in all sports organizations, being actively monitored through urine tests. Detectable for 5-7 days after use, its metabolites can linger for up to 2 months due to advances in detection technology. Many athletes mistakenly assume a short washout period post-use, influenced by peer pressure rather than informed research.

Cost and Availability

Numerous online outlets claim to sell Winstrol, but the DEA’s oversight raises questions about product authenticity. The most commonly available variant in the U.S. originates from Thailand, but smuggled products also enter from Mexico, Russia, and Europe. Such products often command high prices, averaging $2 per tablet, with bulk orders for 2 mg tablets ranging between $150-$200.

It is crucial to purchase steroids from reputable sources to ensure quality and avoid counterfeit products.

Νομικό

Stanozolol falls under the Controlled Substance Act as a Schedule 3 drug, necessitating a prescription for purchase. Legal repercussions for possession, distribution, or sale can lead to significant fines or incarceration. Concerns over steroid-induced aggression and mortality have prompted stricter regulations, causing many physicians to be hesitant in prescribing it due to potential abuse and the ramifications on their practice.
