Anadrol

Anadrol (Oxymetholone) 50 mg is a synthetic derivative of testosterone, formulated as oral tablets. Each tablet contains 50 mg of oxymetholone, the active ingredient.

• Anadrol is primarily prescribed in medical contexts to treat certain types of anemia, including:
• Acquired or congenital aplastic anemia.
• Anemia caused by bone marrow failure or reduced red blood cell production.
• Myelofibrosis or anemia linked to toxic drug effects.

It works by stimulating the hormone erythropoietin, which enhances the production of red blood cells.

Anadrol Benefits

When used under prescription and close supervision, Anadrol may:

• Stimulate red blood cell production – supporting oxygen transport in patients with anemia
• Improve hemoglobin levels – helping reduce fatigue associated with low red cell counts
• Support appetite and weight gain – in individuals experiencing severe illness-related weight loss
• Aid recovery in bone marrow suppression – where other treatments (iron, folic acid, B12, transfusions) are not sufficient alone

Note: These benefits apply only in medical treatment contexts. Anadrol carries risks of significant side effects, so its use must be carefully monitored by a physician.

Usage

• Administration: Anadrol is taken orally with water; tablets should be swallowed whole, not chewed or crushed.
• Dosage: The recommended daily dose is 1–5 mg per kg of body weight, with effective therapeutic ranges often at 1–2 mg/kg/day. Higher doses may occasionally be required.
• Treatment Duration: Typically prescribed for at least 3–6 months. Some patients may discontinue after remission; others may need long-term maintenance at lower doses.
• Precautions:
  • Contraindicated in prostate or breast carcinoma, severe liver or kidney impairment, pregnancy, and hypersensitivity to components.
  • Long-term use may cause liver toxicity, cardiovascular strain, or hormonal imbalances.
  • Requires regular monitoring of liver function, cardiovascular health, and, in children, bone growth.
