Anadrol

Anadrol 50 Information

Anadrol is the U.S. brand name for oxymetholone, it is a very potent oral androgen. Anadrol was first made available in 1960, by the international drug firm Syntex. Since oxymetholone is quite reliable in its ability to increase red blood cell production (and effect admittedly characteristic of nearly all anabolic/androgenic steroids), showed particular promise in treating cases of severe anemia. For this purpose it turned out to be well suited, and Anadrol was popular for quite some time. But recent years have brought fourth a number of new treatments similar to oxymetholone, most notably the non-steroidal hormone Epogen (erythropoietin). This item is shown to have a much more direct effect on the red blood cell count, without the side effects of a strong androgen. Financial disinterest to Anadrol finally prompted Syntex to halt production of the U.S. Anadrol in 1993, which was around the same time they decided to drop this item in a number of foreign countries. Plenastril from Switzerland and Austria was dropped; following soon was Oxitosona from Spain. Many Athletes feared Oxymetholone might be on the way out for good. But new HIV/AIDS studies have shown a new light on oxymetholone. These studies are finding (big surprise) exceptional anti-wasting properties to Anadrol and believe it can be used safely in many such cases. Interest has been peaked, and as of 1998 Anadrol is again being sold in the United States. This time we see the same brand name, but the manufacturer is firm Unimed. Syntex continues to market & license Oxymetholone in a number of countries however (under a few different brand names).

Result of Anadrol use

Anadrol is considered by many to be the most powerful steroid available, with results of Oxymetholone being extremely dramatic. A steroid novice experimenting with oxymetholone is likely to gain 20 to 30 pounds of massive bulk, and Anadrol can often be accomplished in less than 6 weeks, with only one or two tablets per day. Oxymetholone produces a lot of trouble with water retention, so let there be little doubt that much of this gain is simply bloat. But for the user this is often little consequence, feeling bigger and stronger on Anadrol than any steroid they are likely to cross. Although the smooth look that results from water retention using Anadrol is often not attractive, it can aid quite a bit to the level of size and strength gained. The muscle after using Anadrol is fuller, will contract better and is provided a level of protection in the form of "lubrication" to the joints as some of this extra water is held into and around connective tissues. The use of oxymetholone will allow for more elasticity, and will hopefully decrease the chance for injury when lifting heavy. It should be noted however, that on the other hand the very rapid gain in mass might place too much stress on your connective tissues for this to compensate. The tearing of pectoral and biceps tissue is commonly associated with heavy lifting while massing up on heavy androgens. There is such a thing as gaining too fast. Pronounced estrogen trouble also puts the user at risk for developing gynecomastia. Individuals sensitive to the effects of estrogen, or looking to retain a more quality look, will therefore often add Nolvadex to each cycle.
