Stanozolol - Winstrol

Winstrol, known scientifically as stanozolol, is a synthetic anabolic steroid that mimics testosterone. As both an anabolic and androgenic hormone, it can lead to virilizing effects in women. Once prevalent, this compound has become scarce in the market, with numerous reports of counterfeit or contaminated products being sold online, urging caution among potential users. The underground nature of anabolic steroid sales is heavily monitored by the DEA due to their legality.

Indicaties

Originally developed by Winthrop Laboratories in the 1960s, Winstrol serves a critical role in medical treatment for hereditary angioedema. It has also been explored for managing severe anemia and weight loss in HIV patients, with historical applications in livestock for weight gain. The intramuscular variant was commonly used but is increasingly rare, primarily due to abuse concerns and associated side effects.

Dosering in de geneeskunde

Winstrol is available as an oral tablet for human use, with a standard dose of 2 mg taken three times daily for hereditary angioedema, typically over 1-3 months without severe side effects. Anabolic benefits generally manifest within 3-4 weeks, with mild androgenic effects noted at elevated doses.

Bijwerkingen

As with all anabolic steroids, Winstrol can produce side effects, though they are uncommon and manageable for many users. Potential side effects include:

• geelzucht
• levernecrose
• zeldzame vormen van leverkanker
• testiculaire atrofie
• verminderd libido
• mood disturbances (depression, anger, insomnia)
• gastro-intestinale problemen (misselijkheid, diarree)
• gynaecomastie
• stemverdieping bij vrouwen
• haaruitval of -groei bij vrouwen
• vochtretentie
• verhoogde bloedsuikers
• verlaagd HDL-cholesterol

While most side effects are reversible post-treatment, some virilizing effects in women can be permanent. Monitoring liver function is advisable for routine users due to notable liver damage risks.

Contra-indicaties

Winstrol is gecontra-indiceerd bij personen met:

• borstkanker bij mannen
• prostaatkanker
• borstkanker bij vrouwen en/of hypercalciëmie
• zwangerschap bij vrouwen
• allergy to steroid drugs

Dosering voor bodybuilders

Bodybuilders frequently utilize stanozolol to enhance weight gain and exercise performance, achieving gradual increases without water retention. Medical dosages range from 2-6 mg per day, but athletes often exceed these amounts—using 30-100 mg/day, especially favoring injectable forms due to liver toxicity concerns. The injectable version, though harder to verify for authenticity, is often preferred as it mitigates significant liver strain.

Vrouwtjes

Women opt for stanozolol due to its potent anabolic nature and minimal androgenic effects, while high doses or extended usage can result in irreversible virilization.

Sport

Winstrol faces a complete ban within all professional sports, with active screenings capable of detecting the substance up to 5-7 days post-use, and 2 months for metabolites. The misuse among bodybuilders often stems from misguided confidence in the drug’s detection timeline.

Kosten en beschikbaarheid

The internet presents myriad options for purchasing Winstrol, yet consumer discretion is essential due to DEA oversight. Popularly sourced formulations often originate from Thailand or are smuggled from Mexico, Russia, and Europe. Prices hover around $2 per tablet, or $150-$200 for 200 tablets of 2 mg each, emphasizing the importance of reputable sources for authentic products.

Wettelijk

Under the Controlled Substance Act, Stanozolol is classified as a Schedule III drug, necessitating a physician’s prescription. Possession, distribution, or sales without authorization can result in severe penalties, underscoring the increasing caution among medical practitioners regarding prescriptions linked to potential misuse.
