contraindications: Not for use in individuals with pre-existing hepatic impairment, hepatic carcinoma, or elevated baseline liver enzymes confirmed by blood panel
Contraindicated in women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy; Oxymetholone carries documented virilisation risk
Individuals with polycythaemia or documented thrombotic risk should not use this compound given its erythropoietic activity
Contraindicated alongside other C-17 alpha-alkylated oral androgens due to compounded hepatotoxic load
side_effects: Hepatotoxicity: elevated ALT/AST expected; clinical liver strain is dose- and duration-dependent
Erythrocytosis: haematocrit elevation is mechanistically expected and requires monitoring
Water retention and blood pressure elevation common in the first two to three weeks
Appetite suppression or gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals, particularly at 100 mg/day
Suppression of endogenous testosterone production begins within the first week of use
monitoring: Liver function panel (ALT, AST, GGT, bilirubin) at baseline, week three, and at cycle conclusion
Full blood count including haematocrit and haemoglobin at baseline and mid-cycle
Blood pressure assessment weekly during the kickstart phase; systolic readings above 145 mmHg warrant dose reduction
Fasting lipid panel at baseline and post-cycle to assess HDL suppression associated with oral androgen use
pct: Post-cycle therapy should commence 14–21 days after the last injectable dose, not from the last Anadrolus tablet, since the injectable ester determines the clearance timeline for the full stack
Standard SERM-based PCT (Tamoxifen or Clomiphene) for four weeks post-cycle; dose and duration determined by the length and compound composition of the full stack
Hepatoprotective support (TUDCA or UDCA) recommended throughout the Anadrolus phase and for two weeks post-cessation
Endogenous testosterone recovery should be confirmed by blood panel at four to six weeks post-PCT before beginning any subsequent cycle
