Stanozolol – Winstrol

Winstrol, also known as stanozolol, is a synthetic anabolic steroid that mimics testosterone, exhibiting both anabolic and androgenic properties. It may induce virilization in females. Once prevalent, Winstrol’s availability has diminished significantly in recent years, as online retailers often sell counterfeit formulations or contaminated products. The surge in profit-seeking individuals selling bogus anabolic steroids online has garnered scrutiny from the DEA, which actively monitors these transactions due to the illegal nature of anabolic steroid distribution. Bodybuilders seeking authentic Winstrol should exercise caution, as purity can be compromised in online purchases.

Indicații

Originally developed in the 1960s by Winthrop Laboratories, Winstrol is one of the oldest anabolic steroids available. It is primarily indicated for treating hereditary angioedema and has been explored as a treatment for resistant anemia and weight loss in HIV patients. The intramuscular formulation was previously utilized in livestock for weight gain but has since grown scarce due to abuse and potential side effects.

Dozaj în medicină

Winstrol is administered intramuscularly in livestock for weight gain, while human patients may receive it as an oral tablet. The typical dosage for hereditary angioedema is 2 mg three times daily for one to three months, generally without side effects. Anabolic effects become apparent after three to four weeks, with some mild androgenic effects at higher doses.

Efecte secundare

Like all anabolic steroids, Winstrol may produce side effects, though they are infrequent and typically manageable. Common side effects include:

• icter
• necroză hepatică - frecventă
• rare liver cancers
• atrofie testiculară
• scăderea libidoului
• mood swings including depression and anger
• gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea
• ginecomastie
• aprofundarea vocii la femei
• căderea părului
• excess hair growth in women
• retenție de lichide
• increased blood sugar levels
• reduced HDL cholesterol

While most side effects are reversible upon cessation, virilizing effects in women may not be. Users must monitor liver function regularly to mitigate risks of severe damage.

Contraindicații

Winstrol is contraindicated for individuals with:

• cancer de sân la bărbați
• cancer de prostată
• female breast cancer and/or hypercalcemia
• sarcină
• allergies to steroidal drugs

Dosage for Bodybuilders

Stanozolol is popular among bodybuilders and athletes for its efficacy in enhancing weight gain and performance without substantial water retention. Its medical dosage is typically 2-6 mg per day, but bodybuilders often exceed this by 5-15 times, with dosages ranging from 30-100 mg/day. An injectable form is also available, providing approximately 50 mg/day through intramuscular injections. The injectable product appears as a milky liquid containing microcrystals, making counterfeiting prevalent and hard to detect visually. Though the drug is commonly cycled with others like Masteron and Oxandrolone, abuse can lead to liver damage and decreased HDL cholesterol.

Femei

For women, Stanozolol offers potent anabolic benefits with minimal androgenic effects; however, higher doses or prolonged use can induce irreversible virilization.

Sport

Stanozolol is banned by all major sports organizations and can be detected in urine for days after use. Despite misconceptions regarding its detectability, metabolites can remain traceable for up to two months.

Cost and Availability

Although numerous websites claim to sell Winstrol, the legitimacy of these products is often questionable. Common formulations in the USA primarily originate from Thailand, Mexico, and Europe, with prices averaging around $2 per tablet or $150-$200 for a bottle of 200 tablets.

Legal

Under the Controlled Substance Act, stanozolol is classified as a schedule 3 drug, necessitating a physician’s prescription for legal acquisition. Violators face heavy penalties, including fines and imprisonment, due to increasing concerns over abuse and safety.
