Оксиметолон – Анадрол

Анадрол (oxymetholone) is a powerful synthetic steroid available in tablet form, known for its potent anabolic and androgenic effects.

This anabolic steroid enhances nitrogen balance when caloric intake is adequate. It mimics the effects of testosterone and can severely disrupt sexual and physical development in children. Usage among children leads to distorted physical characteristics and serious sexual dysfunction.

Фармакология

Анадрол, with its pharmaceutical designation as oxymetholone, possesses a half-life of approximately 8-10 hours, allowing it to remain in the body for 2-4 times longer due to its affinity for fatty tissue. Biochemical analyses reveal that it can be detected for up to 2 months post administration, which contributes to its unpopularity among bodybuilders seeking a preferred choice for performance enhancement.

Показания к применению

In medicine, Анадрол is prescribed to treat various forms of anemia, particularly **iron deficiency anemia**, **acquired aplastic anemia**, **congenital aplastic anemia**, **myelofibrosis**, and **anemia linked to immunosuppressive therapies**. It does not replace iron, transfusions, or necessary vitamins but serves patients who have not responded to other treatments.

Additionally, it is indicated for muscle wasting in HIV patients and severe osteoporosis, although its side effects have made many physicians hesitant to prescribe it.

Дозировка

The dosage of Анадрол is tailored to body weight, typically ranging from 1.5-2 mg/kg (50-200 mg/week) for both adults and children. Effectiveness may take 2-3 weeks to manifest, with some patients needing lower doses for optimal results in aplastic anemia treatment. It is exclusively available in tablet form and is never administered intravenously.

Бодибилдинг

Анадрол is a well-utilized substance among athletes and bodybuilders due to its formidable anabolic properties and affordability. It’s often accessed illegally via the black market, with reports of athletes acquiring supplies online or through fraudulent prescriptions, particularly from countries like Mexico and Thailand.

When taken orally, Анадрол leads to weight gains observable after 3-4 weeks; claims of quicker results are overstated. Continued use for 3-6 weeks is generally necessary to maintain weight gains, often cycling with growth hormones and thyroxin. A significant side effect is water retention, which many athletes find beneficial for joint protection.

Анадрол is also noted for its rapid recovery benefits post-injury. However, due to its serious side effects and potential for liver cancer, usage should be limited. Many bodybuilders alternate use with other anabolic steroids.

Recent findings suggest that Анадрол may induce unpredictable psychological effects, including increased irritability and aggression with prolonged intake.

For bodybuilding, starting doses of around 50 mg daily for 2-3 weeks, potentially increasing to 75 mg if necessary, are typically suggested. However, it’s advised not to exceed 6-8 weeks of continuous use. Various brand names, including Thai 50 and Strol V, are available, although counterfeit and tainted products are common.

Стоимость

The cost of Анадрол is relatively high, with 100 tablets priced between $150-$200.

Управление

The rampant misuse of Анадрол has resulted in stricter regulations in North America. Classified as a Schedule III controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act, it necessitates a physician’s prescription. Possession with the intent to sell or distribute can lead to substantial fines and possible imprisonment.

Обнаружение

This drug is prohibited by all major sports organizations, with regular testing protocols in place for athletes. Positive results typically lead to suspensions. Анадрол and its metabolites can be detected in urine for 20-45 days after last use.
