What are your thoughts on oxymetholone safety?
The aim of this research was study of the effects of steroids on cardiovascular risk factors in the male bodybuilders.Ten athlete bodybiulders served as the experimental group, those who were taking Oxymetholone drug during a period of 6 weeks exercise training, and 10 athletes (only exercise training) served as the control group. Blood samples were taken before and after the athletes took the drugs and training. Considering the pre-test and post-test, the data were studied by using t-teas. The results showed that at the level of α = 0.05, there was significant difference in concentration of HDL-c in experimental group. Also there was no significant difference in LDL-c, Colestrol total and Triglyceride in both experimental and control groups. In the other hand, steroids abusing decrease HDL-c which it can increase cardiovascular risk factors in the athletes that use this drugs.
AAS use led to no significant changes in serum Triglycerides, total cholesterol and but a considerable increase (6%) in LDL-C was found, and a significant fall in HDL-c (35%). Annoyed the study didn't say the dosages but medically:
For the treatment of anemia caused by deficient red cell production, including aplastic anemia (acquired and congenital), myelofibrosis, and hypoplastic anemia due to myelotoxic drugs.
Oral dosage
Children, Adolescents, and Adults
1—2 mg/kg/day orally is the usual effective dosage in children and adults; however, oxymetholone therapy should be individualized and a higher dosage may be necessary (up to 5 mg/kg/day). Because response may be delayed, a minimum of 3—6 months of therapy is recommended. Once remission is achieved, therapy may be discontinued or decreased in some patients. Patients with congenital aplastic anemia usually require maintenance therapy.
