Stanozolol – Winstrol

Winstrol, also known as stanozolol, is a synthetic anabolic steroid that closely resembles testosterone, functioning as both an anabolic and androgenic hormone. It may induce virilizing effects in females. Once a readily available product, Winstrol has become challenging to find. While online sources suggest its availability, there’s a significant risk of encountering fake formulations and contaminants in products purchased online. The allure of easy profits has led to a proliferation of fraudulent steroid sales on the internet, prompting the DEA to closely monitor these transactions due to the legal ramifications of anabolic steroid distribution. Many products marketed as Winstrol have been tested and found to contain non-active compounds, underscoring the importance of purity for bodybuilders seeking effective anabolic steroids.

Indications

Winstrol, a synthetic testosterone derivative synthesized by Winthrop laboratories in the 1960s, is one of the longest-standing anabolic steroids. It is primarily indicated for treating hereditary angioedema and has been explored for resistant anemia and HIV-related weight loss. Historically, it was used in livestock for weight gain, but current intramuscular formulations are scarce due to abuse potential and associated side effects.

Dosage in Medicine

In agriculture, stanozolol is administered intramuscularly to enhance livestock weight gain. For human medical use, the oral tablet is typically prescribed at 2 mg three times daily for hereditary angioedema, often for a duration of 1-3 months without significant adverse effects. Safe at low doses, anabolic effects become noticeable within 3-4 weeks and continue to enhance over time, accompanied by mild androgenic side effects at elevated doses.

Side Effects

As with all anabolic steroids, Winstrol may cause side effects, though they are infrequent and most users tolerate them well. Common adverse reactions include:

• jaundice
• hepatic necrosis
• rare liver cancers
• testicular atrophy
• decreased libido
• changes in mood (depression, anger, insomnia)
• nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
• gynecomastia
• deepening voice in women
• hair loss
• increased hair growth in women
• fluid retention
• increased blood sugar levels
• lowered HDL cholesterol

Most side effects typically reverse upon discontinuation of the drug; however, virilizing effects may persist, particularly in women, necessitating immediate cessation upon initial signs. Reports of serious liver damage further highlight the necessity for regular liver function monitoring for users of anabolic steroids.

Contraindications

Winstrol is contraindicated for those with:

• male breast cancer
• prostate cancer
• female breast cancer and/or hypercalcemia
• pregnant women
• allergies to steroidal medications

Dosage for Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders and athletes frequently use stanozolol to enhance weight gain and exercise performance. This steroid facilitates gradual weight gain without water retention, selectively burning fat while preserving protein. Medically, Winstrol is administered in doses of 2-6 mg daily. However, many bodybuilders often exceed this dosage, using between 30-100 mg daily due to differences in potency among formulations, particularly those from Thailand versus Pfizer. The major challenge with oral dosing is extensive liver metabolism. Some opt for intramuscular injection, commonly at a dose of 50 mg daily into the buttocks, while ensuring to rotate injection sites to prevent abscesses. Users typically cycle the drug 1-2 months pre-competition, halting it 2-3 weeks prior to avoid detection during doping tests.

Females

Female athletes often prefer stanozolol due to its strong anabolic properties paired with minimal androgenic activity, reducing the risk of virilization. However, prolonged use or high dosages can lead to irreversible masculine traits.

Sports

Winstrol is prohibited by all sporting organizations, with active screening for its metabolites in urine. Bodybuilders are often tricked into using it just before competitions, mistakenly believing they can evade detection, as recent advancements can identify metabolites up to two months post-use.

Cost and Availability

Various websites claim to sell Winstrol, though the DEA’s oversight raises concerns about product authenticity. The most prevalent formulations in the USA originate from Thailand, with additional sources from Mexico, Russia, and Europe, often obtained illegally via veterinary markets. Cost averages around $2 per tablet, with 200 2 mg tablets priced between $150-$200. It’s crucial to purchase from reliable dealers to ensure product integrity.

Legal

Stanozolol is classified as a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substance Act, requiring a doctor’s prescription. Possession, sale, or distribution can lead to severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment. The rise in steroid-related incidents, including violence and fatalities, has intensified prescription control, causing physicians to hesitate in dispensing the drug for fear of potential abuse and the consequences it may bring to their professional reputation.
