DESCRIPTION
Oxymetholone, a 17-alpha-alkylated modification of dihydrotestosterone (also known as anapolon or anadrol), is a highly extreme synthetic steroid. It was created to promote muscular growth in individuals who were malnourished and disabled as well as to cure anemia and osteoporosis. The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given oxymetholone approval for use in humans. Because non-steroidal medications were later developed that could successfully treat anemia and osteoporosis, anapolon’s use declined. Syntex and other manufacturers decided to stop producing the medication in 1993.
By performance metrics, methandienone and oxymetholone are most comparable. Similar to methandienone, it results in active muscle thickening as well as a notable improvement in power output. Water retention in the body, which can produce high blood pressure throughout a cycle, is the main cause of the weight gain, though.
Oxymetholone has the potential to affect hemoglobin levels and raise blood volume in the body, which makes it possible for athletes to produce an incredibly strong pumping effect. This complicates training since muscles hurt practically quickly after the first hard session.
Since oxymetholone is a dihydrotestosterone derivative, its chemical composition prevents aromatization. Despite not directly converting to estradiol, oxymetholone nevertheless exhibits strong estrogenic characteristics. It should be kept in mind that due to this peculiarity, only antiestrogens—not aromatase inhibitors, as aromatase is not engaged in the process—would be able to treat estrogenic adverse effects.
Some claim that, similar to nandrolones, the progestogenic and estrogenic activities of oxymetholone are related. Similar side effects might occur. However, scientific research has demonstrated that oxymetholone lacks any progestogenic effect.
