Durabolin

An elevated estrogen level, water retention, virilization symptoms and high blood pressure are the effects of Durabolin, but they occur more often with Deca-Durabolin than with Durabolin. Due to the reduced duration of its effect, no unwanted concentration of antrogen happens and so female athletes take it in weekly intervals. An interval of three up to four days between the injections is to be noticed. While offering satisfactory results, Durabolin is one of the most secure toxic-free steroids. Since it doesn’t have a negative effect on the liver function, Durabolin can even be administrated even cases of liver disease. Side effects are extremely rare and only happen in cases of highly sensitive persons. Deep voice, acne, huskiness, increased libido and other such virilization symptoms are possible in women, but are rare should reasonable dosages be taken at sensible intervals. As for men, they usually experience no side effects with Durabolin. A proper therapy of HCG and Nolvadex/Clomid following the cycle is however recommended since the liberation of gonadotropins in the hypophysis is foreclosed.

Usually, one can expect headaches, minor acne, increased libido and higher blood pressure causing a longer period of time for blood to clot. Some other side effects that are possible are : symptoms resembling a peptic ulcer, nausea, acne, leukopenia, excitation (commonly referred to as roid rage), diarrhea, sleeplessness, edema (water retention), prolonged blood clotting time, chills, increase in libido, hypertension, vomiting. Women have reported : post-menopausal bleeding, hoarseness or deepening of the voice, water retention, menstrual irregularities, swelling of the breasts and enlargement of the clitoris. Men have reported : chronic priapism, inhibition of testicular function, bladder irritability, cases of impotence and epididymitis.

During prolonged high-dose therapy with anabolic steroids cases of peliosis hepatic, tumors of the liver or even liver cancer have occurred. These effects are very rare but also very dangerous as they may lead to death. Our advice is to discuss these possibilities with your doctor.

A medicine can cause serious side effects along with the effects you need. Despite the fact that not all of these side effects usually occur, they can and if they do you might need to seek immediate medical attention.

Consult your doctor should any of the following side effects occur :

1.) for both men and women :

- less common : yellow eyes or skin; nausea or vomiting; swelling of feet or lower legs; unusual weight gain; bone pain; sore tongue; unusual bleeding.

- rare (with prolonged use) : dark-colored urine; sore throat and/or fever; black, tarry, or light-colored stools; purple or red spots on body or inside the mouth or nose; vomiting of blood; abdominal or stomach pain; headache (continuing); loss of appetite (continuing); unpleasant breath odor (continuing); feeling of discomfort (continuing); hives; unexplained weight loss.

2.) for women :

- more common : acne or oily skin; hoarseness or deepening of voice; unnatural hair growth; enlarging clitoris; irregular menstrual periods; unusual hair loss.

- less common : abnormal tiredness; mental depression.

3.) for men :

- more common : acne; frequent or continuing erections; frequent urge to urinate.

- less common : decreased sexual ability.

If any other effects than the ones listed above occur, check with your doctor immediately.

Anadrol

Excitation, diarrhea or sleeping problems are often. You should notify your doctor or pharmacist immediately should any of these effects are obstinate in going away or worsen. Also notify your doctor should any of the following effects occur : trouble breathing, mental/mood changes, unusual or rapid weight gain, decreased/increased interest in sex, swelling of the ankles/feet, new or exacerbating acne. As far as males before reaching the age of puberty, they should tell their doctors if any of the following signs of maturing happen while taking Anadrol : penis enlargement or more often erections. Concerning adult males – they should also notify their doctors should any of the following occur : changes in testicle size, breast tenderness/swelling, hair loss, impotence, trouble urinating. Males – should you experience a prolonged, painful erection, cease the usage of this drug and search immediate medical advice or permanent problems may occur. As for females (young girls as well as women), they could experience masculinization signs. Such changes may not be reversible. You should debate the benefits as well as the risks of therapy with your doctor. Immediately seek medical attention should any of these side effects occur : new or worsening acne, deepening of the voice/hoarseness, menstrual period changes, facial hair growth, clitoral enlargement. Should anything another than the effects listed appear, notify your doctor or pharmacist.

Liver toxicity is what Anadrol has been associated with. Patients receiving therapy of androgenic anabolic steroid have been found with a condition in which liver and sometimes splenic tissue is substituted by blood-filled cysts, called peliosis hepatis. Such cysts are at times present with a hepatic dysfunction that is minimal, and yet at other times liver failure is associated with them. Until intra-abdominal hemorrhage or life-threatening liver failure expands they are usually not recognized. Cease of drug use usually leads to complete perish of lesions. Liver cell tumors have also been reported. They are usually benign and androgen-dependent cases of fatal malignant tumors are known. Tumor progression can however regress or standstill as a result of drug withdrawal. Still, hepatic tumors affiliated with anabolic steroids or androgens are far more vascular than other hepatic tumors and may not disturb until the development of life-threatening intra-abdominal hemorrhage.

Anadrol may also affect the levels of lipids – substances associated with a high risk of artery or heart disease. Patients treated with anabolic steroids and androgens have reported an increased risk of atherosclerosis due to blood lipid changes. Such changes include decreased high-density lipoprotein, but also increased low-density lipoprotein. The changes could be considerable and may effect the risk of coronary artery disease or of atherosclerosis. Patients with foregoing hepatic, cardiac or renal disease may encounter a serious problem in edema.

Women who take Anadrol stand the chance of developing such masculine features as facial hair, a deeper voice or hair loss because this drug is chemically similar to testosterone – the main male hormone.

Opinions are different when it comes to dosage. A daily dosage of 0,5 - 2,5 mg per pounds of body weight is recommended by Syntex Latino, the manufacturer of the former Spanish Oxitosona 50 tablets. In such a case a 200 pounds weighing bodybuilder could take up to 500 mg per day – a whole 10 tablets. Severe side effects could come of these indications as they are much too high and completely unrealistic. A sufficient dosage for any athlete would be 0,5 - 0,8 mg per pound of body weight/day. This equals to 1-4 tablets; i.e. 50-200 mg/day. It is highly inadvisable that any athlete take over four tablets in one single day. Our opinion is that a daily 4 tablets intake should not be exceeded under no circumstances. Those of you who would like to try this drug for the first time we advice to start with an intake of one single 50 mg tablet. It is only after a few days or even better after a week that you can increase the dosage to two tablets a day : one in the morning and one in the evening, both taken with meals.

Dianabol

Such side effects as gynaecomastia, male pattern baldness, high blood pressure and acne could occur should Dianabol be taken in doses such as 30 mg or more per day. Even low doses can cause severe masculinising effects in women. Moreover, aromatase metabolises it into estradiol. Which concludes that without administrating aromatase inhibitors such as Anastrozole or Aminoglutethimide, estrogenic effects will in time appear in men. Nolvadex or Clomid are used by many users to combat the estrogenic side effects. Even more, the use of Dianabol along with other 17 α-alkylated steroids without appropriate care over extended periods of time can result in liver damage.

Estrogenic related side effects in high doses is what Dianabol has a high propensity for. The sebaceous gland is stimulated due to Dianabol's conversion into dihydrotestosterone so it may also cause serious acne on the chest, back, face, neck and shoulders. The use of Dianabol may also accelerate any genetic predisposition to hair loss present in an individual. Once more, Dianabol's conversion to dihydrotestosterone is the cause of all of this. Gynecomastia is always a possibility for the athlete who uses Dianabol because of the Dianabol readily converting into estrogens. Being liver toxic, Dianabol used in high doses and over extended periods of time can cause considerable strain on the liver. Normally, depending on the individual user's response to the drug and if doses are kept low (15-20 mg daily), these side effects are not seen at all or less pronounced. Increases in liver values may be seen even in doses as small as only 10 mg a day, although liver values tend to return to normal after use of Dianabol is halted when such a moderate doses are used. Increases in both heart rate and blood pressure may occur as Dianabol increases body weight quickly because of both excessive fluid retention and hypertrophy and the use of an antihypertensive drug such as catapressin may be required in some extreme cases. Excess fluid retention is reversed after the use of Dianabol is discontinued and a loss in strength may become noticeable. As an advantage, Dianabol is a “feel-good” steroid noted to improve appetite, mood, self esteem and self confidence.

In the unfortunate case of estrogen related side effects such as gyno it is very important to keep anti-estrogen drugs on hand in order to overcome them. Also, the importance of water intake should not be underestimated : while using Dianabol, water intake should be kept high at all times, as this is one of those things that may not be stressed enough. 1-2 gallons of water per day should be taken in as a recommendation while Dianabol is being used. This quantity is sure to help your internal organs and especially your liver in the Dianabol metabolism. Water intake should be kept high especially for any enhanced athletes. Should this condition not be satisfied headaches as well as strenuous and painful back pumps may occur. This indicates that you should not start any cycle using aromatizing compounds and lack such ancillary drugs as anti-estrogen drugs.
