Estanozolol - Winstrol

Winstrol, also known as estanozolol, is a synthetic anabolic steroid that mimics testosterone. As both an anabolizantes and androgenic hormone, it can cause virilizing effects in women.

Once commonly accessible, Winstrol is now hard to find. Despite online claims of availability, numerous instances of counterfeit products or contaminants have been reported. The appeal of quick profits has led to the proliferation of fake anabolic steroids, prompting the DEA to monitor online vendors closely, as the sale and distribution of esteroides anabolizantes is illegal. Many products sold online have been found to contain inactive substances or contaminants, making the internet unsuitable for purchasing Winstrol due to concerns over product purity.

Indicaciones

Winstrol is a synthetic derivative of testosterone developed by Winthrop laboratories in the 1960s, making it one of the oldest steroids available. It is primarily indicated for treating hereditary angioedema and has been explored for treating stubborn anemia cases and weight loss in HIV patients. Historically, it was also used in livestock for weight gain. The intramuscular formulation, administered weekly, was widely utilized but has become increasingly scarce due to abuse and associated side effects.

Dosificación en medicina

In veterinary use, Winstrol serves as an intramuscular formulation to enhance livestock weight gain, while for human patients, it’s available as an oral tablet. For hereditary angioedema, estanozolol is typically prescribed at 2 mg three times a day, often continued for 1-3 months without significant side effects. The anabolic effects usually manifest after 3-4 weeks and compound over time, with mild androgenic effects at elevated doses.

Efectos secundarios

Like all esteroides anabolizantes, Winstrol has potential side effects, though they are infrequent and generally well-tolerated. Common side effects include:

• ictericia
• hepatic necrosis
• rare liver cancer
• atrofia testicular
• disminución de la libido
• mood changes, including depression and insomnia
• gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
• ginecomastia
• deepening voice in women
• caída del cabello
• increased hair growth in women
• retención de líquidos
• elevated blood sugars
• decreased HDL cholesterol

While most side effects reverse after discontinuation, some virilizing effects may persist. Women are particularly advised to cease use at the first signs of virilization, as certain masculine traits may not fully resolve post-treatment. Winstrol has also been linked to severe liver damage, warranting regular liver function evaluations for those using anabolic steroids.

Contraindicaciones

Usage of Winstrol is contraindicated in individuals with:

• cáncer de mama masculino
• cáncer de próstata
• female breast cancer or hypercalcemia
• embarazo
• allergies to steroid drugs

Dosage for Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders and athletes frequently utilize estanozolol to enhance weight gain and improve performance. It promotes gradual weight gain without water retention, effectively burning fat while preserving muscle. In medical practice, Winstrol is prescribed in lower doses of 2-6 mg daily due to liver toxicity. However, some bodybuilders reportedly use doses 5-15 times higher, with some opting for 30-40 mg daily or more. The oral dosing method presents significant liver strain due to metabolism. Injectable formulations are available, typically at a dosage of 50 mg/day, administered intramuscularly, primarily in the buttocks, with site rotation necessary to prevent complications.

The injectable product appears milky and contains microcrystals. Counterfeit estanozolol injections are prevalent, often indistinguishable by appearance. Bodybuilders may mistakenly believe that authentic Winstrol will show settled microcrystals, although this can occur with talcum powder as well. Users typically incorporate Winstrol 1-2 months prior to a competition and must discontinue 2-3 weeks before to evade detection.

Mujeres

For women, estanozolol offers significant anabolic benefits with minimal androgenic activity. However, high doses or prolonged use can lead to virilization, with some changes proving irreversible.

Deportes

Winstrol is prohibited by all sports organizations and is routinely screened in urinalysis, detectable for 5-7 days post-administration. Many athletes wrongly assume it becomes undetectable after two weeks; however, advanced methods can identify metabolites for up to two months. A concerning trend exists where numerous bodybuilders use anabolic steroids due to peer pressure rather than informed research.

Cost and Availability

A multitude of online vendors claim to sell Winstrol. However, due to DEA oversight, product authenticity is often questionable. The predominant formulation in the USA is sourced from Thailand, with illegal imports from Mexico, Russia, and Europe. Injectable forms are often illicitly obtained from veterinary markets. Typically, Winstrol is not affordable, averaging about $2 per 2 mg tablet or $150-$200 for 200 tablets. It is imperative to procure pills from reputable dealers to ensure product quality.

Legal

Stanozolol is classified as a schedule 3 drug under the Controlled Substance Act, necessitating a physician’s prescription for legal acquisition. Possession, sale, or distribution can lead to severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment. Accumulating instances of steroid-related incidents and fatalities have initiated tighter regulation on prescription issuance, causing physicians to hesitate in prescribing the drug due to potential misuse and the resultant repercussions on their medical careers.
