What is Oxymetholone?

Oxymetholone is produced by Ice Pharmaceuticals. Its active ingredient is Oxymetholone.

Oxymetholone is a strong anabolic steroid used mostly by the athletes in promoting muscle mass and increasing muscle strength. It also has some clinical indications, such as treatment of osteoporosis and anemia, but because of steroid-related side effects it is not a preferred drug for the enumerated causes. Therefore, oxymetholone is an efficient anabolic steroid with strong androgenic activities and very popular among athletes who seek muscle growth in a relative short period of time. It is a drug that has not proved to enhance performance ability of the athletes, and if used in the indicated dose range the risk of developing side effects is minimal.

In comparison with other mild steroids that do not cause estrogen related side effects, oxymetholone may cause such adverse reactions as acne, facial and body hair growth, changes in sexual desire and others. In order to avoid such side effects, it is recommended to take selective estrogen receptor modulators.

• Loss of appetite;

• Stomach pain;

• Breast swelling;

• Insomnia;

• Diarrhea;

• Feeling restless or excited.

Generally, there is a dose range that is indicated for the first cycle of therapy. Each user should start with a lower dose and increase it until the most suitable dose is set. The duration of the therapy depends on how the drug works, and it may take a period of 3 months until all the desired results are obtained.
