Contraindications: Strombaject is contraindicated in individuals with diagnosed prostate or breast carcinoma, hypercalcaemia, nephrotic syndrome, or pre-existing severe hepatic impairment. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must not use this product, given documented virilising teratogenicity in animal studies conducted during stanozolol's original clinical development programme. Individuals with known hypersensitivity to stanozolol or any component of the aqueous suspension should not proceed.
Side Effects: Hepatotoxicity — reflected as elevated serum ALT and AST — is the most historically documented adverse effect associated with stanozolol across both oral and injectable routes; injectable use at equivalent doses generally produces a lower peak hepatic enzyme signal than oral dosing due to avoided first-pass metabolism. Additional adverse events include HDL cholesterol suppression (documented in lipid studies from the 1980s), androgenic effects such as accelerated scalp-hair recession in genetically predisposed males, and voice deepening in females. Injection-site discomfort, including nodule formation from suspension particle settling, is specific to the aqueous injectable form.
Monitoring: Obtain baseline blood panels — including full liver function tests (ALT, AST, ALP), complete lipid profile, haematocrit, and PSA for males over 40 — before commencing any cycle. Mid-cycle re-testing at week four is recommended given the hepatic enzyme elevation pattern documented in stanozolol pharmacokinetic studies; end-of-cycle testing informs PCT timing. Haematocrit monitoring is warranted because erythropoietic stimulation has been characterised in clinical haematology literature on anabolic androgens.
PCT: Post-cycle therapy should commence within three to five days of the final Strombaject injection, accounting for the compound's approximately 24-hour aqueous half-life. A standard SERM-based protocol — such as tamoxifen citrate 20–40 mg daily or clomiphene citrate 50 mg daily for four weeks — is aligned with the recovery timelines described in HPG-axis restoration literature. Gonadotropin support (hCG) during the final two weeks of the cycle may accelerate LH receptor re-sensitisation, particularly following longer-duration use.
