Oxymetholone was established in 1960 in Mexico, but was first released en masse in the same year the U.S. company Syntex under the trademark "Anadrol-50".

Oxymetholone is a substance that contains the synthetic male hormone and is used to treat anemia or increase the red blood cells in the body. With the consumption of this substance, you can increase the erythropoietin hormone, which is responsible for the production of these red blood cells. For the most part, Oxymetholone is not used to enhance the physical appearance or the athletic performance.

Both drugs have a very weak ability to stabilize the androgen receptors, but expressed a non-genomic activity. Original purpose oxymetholone - treatment of anemia - enable it to significantly increase the number of red blood cells. Because of this, while taking the drug increases muscle content of blood, and this way an athlete feels a stunning effect of increasing muscles.

Use with other steroids

Oxymetholone is best combined with other anabolic steroids, with pronounced genomic activity such as oxandrolone, boldenone and testosterone to reach maximum blood levels.

However, you should avoid its use in conjunction with nandrolone, since the both drugs have a pronounced progestogenic activity. Nevertheless, this activity can be considerably reduced if you will use drugs containing stanozolol, for ex. Strombafort or Strombaject aqua.

But at a dosage of 200 mg / day water is delayed considerably less. Typically, the recommended dosage depends on weight of athlete proportionally. In practice, this means that for ex. bodybuilder who weighs about 100 kg, should take from 2 to 10 tablets of 50 mg daily. Therefore, the optimal dosage is 300 mg per day.

Water retention lubricates joins and allows for comfortable, pain-free workouts. With water retention also comes more retention of nutrients as well. Retention of more nutrients can lead to muscle tissue growing more permanent tissue. Estrogen increases can also cause the risk of side-effects, such as gynocomastia.

Genocomastia is the development and growth of breast tissue in men. To prevent this side-effect, patients should take Nolvadex, an anti-estrogen drug, along with Oxymetholone.
