Its active ingredient, Methandienone, promotes rapid muscle gain, increased strength, and enhanced performance. Since Dianabol quickly inereases the body weight due to high water retention, a high blood pressure and a faster heartbeat can occur, sometimes requiring the intake of an antihypertensive drug such as Catapresan. Higher dosages and a longer time of intake bring better results; however the androgens begin to be noticeable in the female organism. Thereare, however, several female bodybuilders and, in particular female powerlifters who use Dianabol and obtain enormous progress with mg/day. Scientific tests continue to show that on days of intense workout compared to rest days, the half-life time of Dianabol is reduced even further so that an application three times daily appears sensible. Since 1994, Metanabol has only been available in blister strips of 10 tablets each, of orange color, and with their own packaging. Unfortunately, the tablets are not indented or marked so the contents of the vials can be easily substituted. Other easily available original compounds are the Polish Metanabol and the Czech Stenoion. Since the fake Pronabols are indented as well one must make certain not to purchase tablets in bulk or tablets contained in a normal push-through strip. The original Pronas can be easily recognized since they come in a silver aluminum strip with a double bottom, and have a purple irnprint so that the tablets are invisible. The Indian Pronabol-5, simply called "Pronas," is enclosed in an oblong box with ten strips of 10 tablets each. Methandrostenolone is a controlled substance in the United States and Western Europe and remains popular among bodybuilders. It is also possible that during manufacturing of the Russian Dianabol old, expired, tablets were mixed with the produced substance and made into new tablets. The fine difference, however is that oral 17-alpha methyltestosterone is clearly more androgenic and therefore causes more strain on the liver. Since Dianabol as already mentioned, a derivative of it, the two substances have similar effects. Methandienone binds to and activates the androgen receptor (AR) in order to exert its effects. Estrogenic side effects such as gynecomastia and fluid retention can also occur. Androgenic side effects such as oily skin, acne, seborrhea, increased facial/body hair growth, scalp hair loss, and virilization may occur. Competing athletes, more advanced athletes, and athletes weighing more than 220 pounds do not need more than 40 mg/day and in very rare cases 50 mg/day. The dosage spectrum, in particular for bodybuilders, weightlifters and powerlifters is very wide. Excessive water retention and aromatizing can be avoided in most cases by simultaneously taking Nolvadex and Proviron so that some athletes are able to use Dianabol until three to four days before a competition. Dianabol is indicated in the treatment of all diseases and conditions in which an anabolic(protein-buildup promoting) effect and a generally roborizing (entire organism strengthening) effect can be obtained. This effect manifests itself in by creating a positive nitrogen balance, supporting the builidup of protein and, thus, skeletal muscle mass. As a result, methandrostenolone is significantly more active than an equivalent quantity of testosterone, resulting in rapid growth of muscle tissue. Our opinion is that processing of the 17-alpha methyltestosterone in methandrostenolone was probably not carried out completely in the Russian Dianabol; consequently, several tablets contain a mix. The situation with the Russian compound is a little different since, in the meantime, numerous athletes have experienced unusual side erfects with these tablets. Because of the interesting price of these two compounds it is not unusual to find athletes who take tmentyor more tablets daily. Side effects such as gynecomastia, high blood pressure, acne and male pattern baldness may begin to occur. After CIBA's patent exclusivity period lapsed, other manufacturers began to market generic metandienone in the US. After the Kefauver Harris Amendment was passed in 1962, the US FDA began the DESI review process to ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs approved under the more lenient pre-1962 standards, including Dianabol. American football players and coaches were particularly interested in the new "anabolic". Riecke's performance and mood consistently improved while taking Dianabol, and dramatically declined when he did not take it. According to Grimek, "apparently, he doesn’t think it will do that much good, and may even have detrimental effects, ... He appears doubtful." Like all anabolic steroids, Averbol 25 may cause side effects if not used responsibly. Averbol 25 is a popular anabolic steroid known for its potent muscle-building effects. Metandienone is one of the few anabolic steroids developed for the sole purpose of enhancing performance. Several successful athletes and professional bodybuilders have admitted long-term metandienone use before the drug was banned, including Arnold Schwarzenegger.
