SUBSTANCE
Oxymetholone Injectable
Introducing Oxymetholone, also recognized as Anapolon or Anadrol?a potent synthetic steroid renowned for its impressive anabolic properties. This 17-alpha-alkylated derivative of dihydrotestosterone was initially developed to combat osteoporosis and anemia, while promoting muscle growth in patients facing malnutrition and weakness. Approved by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human use, Oxymetholone saw decreased popularity with the rise of non-steroidal treatments for anemia and osteoporosis, leading to its discontinuation by Syntex in 1993, a trend followed by other manufacturers.
When it comes to performance, Oxymetholone mirrors the effects of methandienone, delivering remarkable muscle gains and enhanced strength. However, it?s essential to note that much of the weight gained is due to water retention, which can temporarily elevate blood pressure during usage.
The steroid's impact on hemoglobin levels and overall blood volume also results in an intense "pump" effect during workouts, which can make training sessions more challenging as muscles may experience immediate soreness following heavy lifting.
As a dihydrotestosterone derivative, Oxymetholone's unique chemical structure prevents aromatization, meaning it does not convert to estradiol directly. Despite this, it does possess significant estrogenic properties. It's crucial to understand that only antiestrogens can mitigate these estrogenic side effects, as aromatase inhibitors are ineffective against them.
While some theorize that the estrogenic effects may be associated with progestogenic activity akin to nandrolones, medical research has confirmed that Oxymetholone lacks progestogenic effects.
Pharmacom Labs has crafted an injectable version of this steroid, enhancing bioavailability and reducing hepatotoxicity compared to its oral counterpart, as it bypasses the initial hepatic metabolism, offering a safer and more effective option for users.
