Stanozolol – Winstrol

Winstrol, known scientifically as stanozolol, is a synthetic anabolic steroid that mimics testosterone, boasting both anabolic and androgenic properties. In women, it may lead to virilization effects.
Once abundant, Winstrol has become scarce on the market. While there is buzz online about its availability, many products purchased through the internet have been found to be counterfeit or contaminated.
The allure of quick profit has drawn many into the distribution of fake anabolic steroids. The DEA vigilantly monitors these transactions, as the sale of anabolic steroids is illegal. Numerous Winstrol products sold online have been tested and found to contain benign substances resembling cholesterol, along with harmful impurities. Thus, bodybuilders seeking anabolic steroids are advised to refrain from online purchasing, as product purity cannot be guaranteed.

Indications

Winstrol, a synthetic derivative of testosterone, was developed by Winthrop Laboratories in the 1960s and remains one of the oldest anabolic steroids in use. It is primarily indicated for treating hereditary angioedema, and its use has also been explored for severe cases of anemia and weight loss in HIV patients. Historically, it has been utilized for livestock weight gain, with the intramuscular formulation widely prescribed, now challenging to locate due to rampant abuse and associated side effects.

Dosage in Medicine

In veterinary practice, Winstrol is administered as an intramuscular injection to facilitate weight gain in animals. For human treatment, the oral tablet form is commonly used, generally prescribed at 2 mg three times daily for hereditary angioedema. The regimen often spans 1-3 months at a daily dose of 2 mg, typically with minimal side effects. Anabolic benefits typically manifest within 3-4 weeks and intensify over time, although high doses may trigger mild androgenic reactions.

Side Effects

As with all anabolic steroids, Winstrol carries potential side effects, though they are rare and often well-tolerated. Common adverse effects include:

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

While most side effects reverse after discontinuation, some virilizing effects may be permanent. Women taking this drug are advised to discontinue use at the first sign of virilization, as some masculine traits can persist even after stopping the medication. There have been accounts of substantial liver damage linked to Winstrol, emphasizing the need for regular liver function monitoring during prolonged use.

Contraindications

Winstrol is advised against for individuals with:

• male breast cancer
• prostate cancer
• females with breast cancer or hypercalcemia
• pregnant women
• those allergic to steroidal compounds

Dosage for Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders frequently utilize stanozolol for its ability to enhance weight gain and exercise efficacy. It promotes gradual weight gain while minimizing water retention, burning fat while preserving protein. In clinical settings, Winstrol is typically dosed at 2-6 mg daily. However, athletes often exceed safe dosages by 5-15 times this amount. It’s notable that the THAI formulation tends to be less potent than Pfizer’s product, leading some bodybuilders to use doses ranging from 30-100 mg/day. The principal challenge with oral dosing is that a significant portion is metabolized by the liver. Alternatively, intramuscular administration is common, with a typical dose of 50 mg/day injected into the buttocks, requiring rotation of injection sites every few weeks to avoid complications.
The injectable form appears as a milky white mixture with microcrystals. Counterfeit stanozolol injectable products are prevalent, and differentiating genuine ones visually is nearly impossible. Some users claim real Winstrol will show settled microcrystals at the bottom; however, tampering with talc has created misleading appearances.
Athletes usually commence use 1-2 months prior to competitions and must cease at least 2-3 weeks beforehand to evade detection.
Most users experience noticeable muscle gains within 3-4 weeks, and many athletes report sudden bursts of energy during this initial phase. However, these effects do not sustain long-term. Contrary to popular belief, excessive stanozolol use is harmful and doesn’t guarantee better results. Experts recommend limiting Winstrol usage to 4-6 weeks max.
Bodybuilders also often cycle stanozolol with other compounds such as Masteron, Equipose, Oxandrolone, GH, and thyroxin. Some add Clomid to combat testosterone suppression during washout periods. Due to potential water retention, many athletes opt for diuretics to eliminate excess fluid.
Recently, furazabol has emerged as a unique alternative to stanozolol, sharing similar effects but enhancing cholesterol profiles—a benefit observed at low doses for limited duration. Higher doses over time may still adversely affect cholesterol levels.

Females

Female bodybuilders often choose stanozolol due to its potency as an anabolic agent coupled with low androgenic activity. This minimizes the risk of virilizing effects common with other anabolic steroids. Nevertheless, high dosages or prolonged use can induce these irreversible side effects.

Sports

Use of stanozolol is prohibited in all sports organizations, and athletes are routinely tested for its metabolites, which remain detectable for up to 5-7 days. Some mistakenly believe it is undetectable after two weeks; however, advancements in testing reveal that Winstrol can be traced in urine for up to two months. Many bodybuilders resort to this drug based on peer influence rather than informed decisions.

Cost and Availability

A multitude of websites purport to sell Winstrol, yet due to DEA oversight, the authenticity of these products is dubious. The prevalent formulation of Winstrol in the USA originates from Thailand, while illicit supplies may come from Mexico, Russia, and Europe. Additionally, various injectable forms are illegally sourced from veterinary markets. The price of Winstrol is substantial, averaging approximately $2 per tablet; a standard pack of 200 tablets (2 mg each) can range from $150-$200.
Purchasing from reputable dealers is essential to ensure product integrity and value.

Legal

Stanozolol is classified as a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act, necessitating a physician’s prescription for acquisition. Possession, sale, or distribution can lead to significant fines and imprisonment. The rise in occurrences of “steroid rage” and fatalities has resulted in stricter regulations on prescriptions, causing physicians to be hesitant to prescribe this drug, fearing potential abuse and the impact on their medical careers.
