Anadrol 50
(Anapolon 50) (Anapolon 50)
® is
the U.S. brand name for oxymetholone, a very potent oral
androgen. Anadrol was first made available in 1960, by the
international drug firm Syntex. Since Anadrol
50 (Anapolon 50) is quite reliable in its
ability to increase red blood cell production (and effect
admittedly characteristic of nearly all anabolic/androgenic
steroids), Anadrol 50 showed particular promise in treating cases of
severe anemia. For this purpose Anadrol 50 turned out to be well suited,
and was popular for quite some time. But recent years have
brought fourth a number of new treatments, most notably the
non-steroidal hormone Epogen (erythropoietin).
Anadrol 50 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 finally prompted Syntex to halt production of the
U.S. Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) (Anapolon 50) ® 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 Anadrol 50
(Anapolon 50) might be on the way out for good. But new HIV/AIDS studies have
shown a new light on Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50).
These studies are finding (big surprise) exceptional
anti-wasting properties to Anadrol 50 and believe it can be
used safely in many such cases. Interest has been peaked, and as
of 1998 Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50)
® is again being sold in the United States. This time we
see the same Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) ® brand name, but the manufacturer is the drug firm
Unimed. Syntex continues to market & license Anadrol 50
(Anapolon 50) in a
number of countries however (under a few different brand names).
Anadrol 50
(Anapolon 50)© is
considered by many to be the most powerful steroid available,
with results of Anadrol 50 being extremely dramatic. A
steroid novice experimenting with oxymetholone is likely to gain
20 to 30 pounds of massive bulk, and it can often be
accomplished in less than 6 weeks, with only one or two tablets
per day. Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) 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 50 (Anapolon
50) ® than
any steroid they are likely to cross. Although the smooth look
that results from water retention is often not attractive, it
can aid quite a bit to the level of size and strength gained.
The muscle 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. This 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.
It is important
to note however, that Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) does not directly convert to
estrogen in the body. Anadrol 50 (Anapolon
50) is a derivative of
dihydrotestosterone, which gives it a structure that cannot be
aromatized. As such, many have speculated as to what makes this
hormone so troublesome in terms of estrogenic side effects. Some
have suggested that Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) has progestational activity, similar to
nandrolone, and is not actually estrogenic at all. Since the
obvious side effects of both estrogens and progestins are very
similar, this explanation might be a plausible one. However we
do find medical studies looking at this possibility. One such
tested the progestational activity of various steroids including
nandrolone, norethandrolone, methandrostenolone, testosterone
and oxymetholone 3. It reported no significant progestational
effect inherent in Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) or methandrostenolone, slight
activity with testosterone and strong progestational effect
inherent in nandrolone and norethandrolone. With such findings
it starts to seem much more likely that oxymetholone can
intrinsically activate the estrogen receptor itself, similar to
but more profoundly than the estrogenic androgen meth
Andriol. In
speaking with chemist Patrick Arnold about my thoughts on this,
I was afforded very believable support for my suspected
explanation. According to Pat:
"I share your
thoughts on this. Anadrol has an acidic hydrogen in the A-ring
at a vicinity that is approximate to where the acidic phenolic
hydrogen of estradiol is. I suspect it is a potent estrogen
agonist'
Clearly if this
is the case we can only combat the estrogenic side effects of
Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) with estrogen receptor antagonists such as
Nolvadex® or Clomid®, and not with an aromatase inhibitor. The
strong anti-aromatase compounds such as Cytadren and Arimidex ®
would similarly prove to be totally useless with Anadrol 50,
as aromatase is uninvolved.
Anadrol 50
(Anapolon 50) ® is also a very potent androgen. This trait tends
to produce many pronounced, unwanted androgenic side effects.
Oil skin, acne and body/facial hair growth can be seen very
quickly with Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50). Many individuals respond
with severe acne, often requiring medication to keep it under
control. Some of these individuals find that Accutaine works
well, which is a strong prescription drug that acts on the
sebaceous glands to reduce the release of oils. Those with a
predisposition for male pattern baldness may want to stay away
from Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) 5007
completely, as this is certainly a possible side effect during
therapy. And while some very adventurous female athletes do
experiment with Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50), it is much too androgenic to recommend. Irreversible
virilization symptoms can be the result and may occur very
quickly, possibly before you have a chance to take action.
It is
interesting to note that Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) ® does exhibit some tendency
to convert to dihydrotestosterone, although this does not occur
via the 5-alpha reductase enzyme (responsible for altering
testosterone to form DHT) as it is already a dihydrotestosterone
based steroid. Aside from the added c-17 alpha alkylation
(discussed below), Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) differs from DHT only by the
addition of a 2-hydroxymethylene group. This grouping can be
removed metabolically however, reducing
Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) to the
potent androgen 17alpha-methyl
dihydrotestosterone (mesterolone; methyldihydrotestosterone).
There is little doubt that this biotransformation contributes at
least at some level to the androgenic nature of Anadrol 50,
especially when we note that in its initial state Anadrol 50
(Anapolon 50) ® has a notably low binding
affinity for the androgen receptor. So although we have the
option of using the reductase inhibitor finasteride (see:
Proscar ®) to reduce the androgenic
nature of testosterone, it offers us no benefit with Anadrol 50
(Anapolon 50) ® as this enzyme is not
involved.
The principle
drawback to Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) ®
is that it is a 17aipha alkylated compound. Although this design
gives it the ability to withstand oral administration, it can be
very stressful to the liver. Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) ® is particularly dubious because we require such a
high milligram amount per dosage. The difference is great when
comparing it to other oral steroids like Dianabol or Winstrol
®,
which have the same chemical alteration. Since they have a
slightly higher affinity for the androgen receptor, they are
effective in much smaller doses (seen in the 5mg and 2mg tablet
strengths). Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) has a lower affinity, which may be why
we have a 50 mg tablet dosage. For
comparison, taking three tablets of Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) ® (150mg) is roughly the equivalent of 30
Dianabol tablets or 75 Winstrol ®
tablets(!). When looking at the medical requirements, the
recommended dosage for all ages has been 1 - 5 mg/kg of body
weight. This would give a 2201b person a dosage as high as 10
Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) ® tablets (500mg) per day.
There should be little wonder why when liver cancer has been
linked to steroid use, Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50) is generally the
culprit. Athletes actually never need such a high dosage and
will take in the range of only 1-3 tablets per day. Many happily
find that one tablet is all they need for exceptional results,
and avoid higher amounts. Cautious users will also limit the
intake of Anadrol 50 to no longer than 4-6 weeks and have
their liver enzymes checked regularly with a doctor. Kidney
functions may also need to be looked after during longer use, as
water retention/high blood pressure can take a toll on the body.
Before starting a cycle, one should know to give Anadrol 50
(Anapolon 50)
® the
respect it is due. It is a very powerful drug, but not always a
friendly one.
When
discontinuing Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50)
®, the crash can be equally powerful. To begin with, the level
of water retention will quickly diminish, dropping the user's
body weight dramatically. This should be expected, and not of
much concern. What is of great concern is restoring endogenous
testosterone production. Anadrol 50 (Anapolon 50)
® will
quickly and effectively lower natural levels during a cycle, so
HCG and/or Clomid ®/Nolvadex ® are a must when discontinuing a
cycle.
The common
practice of slowly tapering off your pill dosage is wholly
ineffective at raising testosterone levels. Without ancillary
drugs, a run away cortisol level will likely strip much of the
muscle that was gained during the cycle. If HCG and/or Clomid®/Nolvadex®
are used properly, the person should be able to maintain a
considerable amount of new muscle mass. Before going off, some
alternately choose to first switch over to a milder injectable
like decadurabolin ®. This is in an effort to harden up the new
mass, and can prove to be an effective practice. Although a drop
of weight due to water loss is likely when making the switch,
the end result should be the retention of more (quality) muscle
mass with a less pronounced crash. Remember ancillaries though,
as testosterone production will not be rebounding during Deca
therapy.
