Anadroxyl: Oxymetholone Overview
Oxymetholone, a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and is commonly recognised as the strongest oral anabolic steroid available.
It is both highly anabolic and androgenic and being C-17 alpha-alkylated, very toxic to the liver. There have been many reports of acne and hair loss (due to high levels of DHT) in addition to its strong association with liver damage and gynaecomastia.
There have also been reports of headaches and stomach pains. There is substantial evidence of loss of size and weight, which has been attributed to the drug being too hard on the body.
Very few women are able to tolerate oxymetholone due to its virilising effects.
