Euro-Pharmacies Winstrol 10 ml vial (50 mg/ml)

Stanozolol – Winstrol

Winstrol, also known as stanozolol, is a synthetic anabolic steroid mimicking testosterone, exhibiting both anabolic and androgenic properties. While it can lead to virilization in females, its availability has significantly diminished in today’s market. Despite online claims, many products labeled as Winstrol may contain counterfeit substances or impurities. The rise of illicit sellers has resulted in increased scrutiny by the DEA, making online purchases risky due to the drugs’ uncertain purity.

Indications

Originally developed by Winthrop Laboratories in the 1960s, Winstrol is one of the oldest anabolic steroids, primarily indicated for treating hereditary angioedema. Additionally, it’s been explored for severe anemia and weight loss in HIV patients, even used in livestock to promote weight gain. Its intramuscular form is now rare due to high rates of abuse and potential side effects.

Dosage in Medicine

Winstrol is administered intramuscularly in agriculture for livestock but is available as oral tablets for human use, typically prescribed at 2 mg three times daily for hereditary angioedema. For 1-3 months, patients may safely continue this regimen, experiencing anabolic effects within 3-4 weeks. Higher doses can lead to mild androgenic side effects.

Side Effects

As with all anabolic steroids, Winstrol can present side effects, though they are generally well-tolerated:

• jaundice
• hepatic necrosis
• rare liver cancers
• testicular atrophy
• decreased libido
• mood swings including depression and anger
• gastrointestinal issues like nausea
• gynecomastia
• deepening voice in women
• hair loss
• increased hair growth in women
• fluid retention
• elevated blood sugars
• decreased HDL cholesterol

While most side effects are reversible upon cessation, some virilizing effects may be permanent, particularly in women. Due to reports of severe liver damage, regular monitoring of liver function is crucial for users.

Contraindications

Winstrol should be avoided by individuals with:

• male breast cancer
• prostate cancer
• breast cancer or hypercalcemia in females
• pregnancy
• allergy to steroid drugs

Dosage for Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders often utilize stanozolol for its weight gain and performance-enhancing effects, gradually increasing dosage without water retention. Medicinally, prescribed dosages are 2-6 mg daily, yet athletes frequently exceed this—up to 100 mg/day—despite the associated liver toxicity. Injectable forms (e.g., 50 mg/day) are also popular with various administration sites to minimize abscess risk. Typically, athletes cycle Winstrol one to two months pre-competition, ceasing 2-3 weeks prior to prevent detection.

Females

For women, Stanozolol is appealing due to its potent anabolic effects coupled with minimal androgenic activity. However, high doses or prolonged use can lead to irreversible virilizing effects.

Sports

Stanozolol usage is banned in all sports, with detection possible in urine for 5-7 days post-administration. Athletes often mistakenly believe a two-week washout is sufficient, while recent advancements can reveal metabolites for up to two months.

Cost and Availability

Numerous online retailers claim to sell Winstrol, yet the legitimacy of these products is often questionable due to strict DEA monitoring. The most prevalent source in the USA is Thailand, with illegal imports from Mexico, Russia, and Europe. On average, Winstrol tablets are priced at $2, with a container of 200 costing $150-$200. Always source from reputable dealers to ensure quality and authenticity.

Legal

Stanozolol is classified as a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substance Act, necessitating a physician’s prescription. Possession or distribution without a prescription can result in severe legal consequences, including fines and imprisonment, prompting medical professionals to be cautious in prescribing this substance due to potential abuses.
