Hilma Biocare Stanozolol 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Stanozolol – Winstrol

Winstrol, known scientifically as stanozolol, is a potent synthetic anabolic steroid that closely mimics testosterone. It possesses both anabolic and androgenic properties, with potential virilizing effects in women.

Once widely accessible, Winstrol has become increasingly hard to source legitimately. Despite online claims, many products are counterfeit or contaminated, leading to numerous incidents of consumers receiving ineffective or dangerous formulations.

The allure of easy profits has prompted individuals to sell fake steroids online, resulting in vigilant monitoring by the DEA. Many online products have been found to contain harmless substances rather than authentic stanozolol. Consequently, bodybuilders should refrain from purchasing this drug online, as its purity cannot be guaranteed.

Indications

Originally developed in the 1960s by Winthrop Laboratories, Winstrol is a synthetic variant of testosterone. It is primarily indicated for treating hereditary angioedema, with additional applications in severe anemia and weight loss in HIV patients. Historically, it was also used for weight gain in livestock, but its availability has diminished due to its abuse potential and associated side effects.

Dosage in Medicine

In livestock, Winstrol is administered via intramuscular injections to enhance weight gain. For humans, it is available in oral tablet form, typically prescribed at 2 mg three times daily for hereditary angioedema. Treatment may extend over 1 to 3 months without significant side effects. Anabolic effects are usually observed after 3-4 weeks, with some mild androgenic effects noted at higher doses.

Side Effects

Like all anabolic steroids, stanozolol can produce side effects, albeit infrequently and generally tolerable. Commonly reported side effects include:

• Jaundice
• Common hepatic necrosis
• Rare liver cancers
• Testicular atrophy
• Decreased libido
• Mood changes, including depression and insomnia
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
• Gynecomastia
• Vocal deepening in women
• Hair loss
• Unwanted hair growth in women
• Fluid retention
• Elevated blood sugars
• Reduced HDL cholesterol

While most effects reverse after discontinuation, some virilizing changes may be permanent. Women using this drug should cease at the first signs of virilization to avoid lasting masculinization. Reports of severe liver damage have emerged, highlighting the importance of liver function monitoring for regular users.

Contraindications

Winstrol is contraindicated for individuals with:

• Male breast cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Females with breast cancer or hypercalcemia
• Pregnant women
• Allergies to steroidal drugs

Dosage for Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders commonly use stanozolol to enhance weight gain and exercise performance. Unlike other steroids, it does not retain water and promotes fat burning while protecting lean muscle. For medical purposes, the typical dosage ranges from 2-6 mg daily; however, athletes often exceed this significantly—using doses 5-15 times higher. Some report using 30-40 mg or more daily, especially with varying formulations from different manufacturers.

Oral dosages suffer from significant liver metabolism, hence the injectable form (50 mg daily) is preferred, typically administered in the buttocks with rotation to prevent injection site complications. Genuine injectable stanozolol often exhibits settled microcrystals, but distinguishing fakes can be challenging.

Bodybuilders usually cycle the drug in the lead-up to events, halting usage 2-3 weeks prior to avoid detection. While significant muscle gains are usually seen within 3-4 weeks, the effects of stanozolol may not last, with higher doses often counterproductive. Experts typically advise limited usage to 4-6 weeks to minimize risks.

Commonly, stanozolol is cycled with drugs like Masteron, Equipose, Oxandrolone, growth hormone, and thyroxin. To mitigate testosterone suppression during washout, Clomid may be added. Athletes often employ diuretics to counter water retention effects.

Furazabol is gaining attention as an alternative, mirroring stanozolol’s benefits but potentially offering a better cholesterol profile at lower doses. Long-term high doses of any anabolic steroid, including furazabol, generally lead to reduced HDL cholesterol and increased LDL cholesterol levels.

Females

Females often choose stanozolol for its strong anabolic properties coupled with low androgenicity, minimizing the risk of virilization. However, prolonged use or higher doses can lead to irreversible masculine traits.

Sports

Stanozolol is banned in all sports organizations and is readily detectable in urine for 5-7 days post-use. Misconceptions about clearance times have led many bodybuilders to misuse it leading up to events. Recent testing advancements can trace Winstrol metabolites for up to 2 months. Widespread anabolic steroid use is often attributed to peer influence rather than educated decision-making

Cost and Availability

Several websites claim to offer Winstrol, yet the DEA’s scrutiny raises questions about product legitimacy. The most prevalent formulation in the U.S. originates from Thailand, with additional illegal imports from Mexico, Russia, and Europe. Injectable forms frequently come from the veterinary market. Pricing varies, averaging around $2 per tablet with 200 tablets costing between $150-$200.

To ensure product quality, always purchase from reputable dealers.

Legal

Under the Controlled Substance Act, stanozolol is classified as a Schedule 3 drug, necessitating a physician’s prescription for legal procurement. Violators face substantial fines and imprisonment. Increased reports of steroid-related incidents are prompting tighter restrictions on prescription availability, creating a climate of caution among physicians wary of potential abuse.
