contraindications: NordiPolon is contraindicated in individuals with active hepatic disease, significantly elevated baseline liver enzymes, prostate or breast carcinoma, pregnancy, or hypersensitivity to Oxymetholone or any tablet excipient. Do not introduce the oral androgenic phase of any peptide stack until a pre-cycle panel confirms liver enzyme values within the reference range.
side_effects: Hepatotoxicity is the primary risk associated with 17α-alkylated oral androgens; elevation of ALT and AST is expected and should be tracked at defined intervals. Additional effects include fluid retention, alterations in HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio, potential blood pressure elevation secondary to increased red-cell mass, and acne. Progestogenic receptor cross-reactivity may contribute to gynecomastia risk independent of aromatisation.
monitoring: Obtain ALT, AST, haematocrit, lipid panel, and fasting glucose at baseline, at the midpoint of the Oxymetholone sub-window, and four weeks post-cessation. The four-week post-cessation draw is particularly important in peptide-inclusive protocols because GH-related effects on glucose metabolism remain active and must be distinguished from residual oral androgenic hepatic signals on the same panel. Haematocrit values approaching or exceeding 54% warrant immediate dose review.
pct: Post-cycle therapy targeting HPG-axis recovery remains necessary following Oxymetholone administration. Standard SERM-based protocols (Tamoxifen or Clomiphene) apply. Because the peptide protocol typically continues through and beyond PCT, liver enzyme recovery can be tracked alongside ongoing IGF-1 monitoring — use separate reference ranges for each biomarker category rather than conflating them.
