Overview
Oxymetholone, sold as Anadrol-50, is approved for anemias caused by poor red-cell production. It is one of the most potent oral steroids and is still used in some hematology clinics.
This listing is Zionova Anadrol 50 (50 mg), photographed as we ship it and priced in Canadian dollars.
How it works
Oxymetholone stimulates the kidney hormone erythropoietin and the bone marrow, increasing red-cell production. It binds androgen receptors, causes estrogen-like effects despite not converting through the usual pathway, and is 17-alpha-alkylated.
Clinical reference
The Anadrol-50 label for anemia uses 1 to 5 mg per kilogram of body weight a day, with responses usually seen in three to six months.

Combinations and interactions
- Increases hematocrit, which adds to any other compound that raises red cells.
- Interactions: markedly increases the effect of warfarin; can lower blood sugar in diabetes.
- Other oral steroids add liver strain.
Risks and side effects
- Liver. Peliosis hepatis and liver tumours are listed on the label; enzymes need regular checks.
- Blood pressure and fluid. Water retention and higher blood pressure are common.
- Hematocrit. Thick blood raises clot risk.
- Lipids. Lower HDL.
Do not use it if you are under 18, pregnant, have liver or kidney disease, heart disease or prostate cancer.

Storage and handling
Keep the bottle tightly closed at room temperature, away from moisture, heat and children. Do not move tablets into unlabelled containers.
Canadian legal status
Anabolic steroids are listed in Schedule IV of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Simple possession of a Schedule IV substance is not itself an offence, but importing, exporting, producing or selling one without authorisation is. Anabolic agents are prohibited in tested sport. Laws change, so check the current rules for your situation.

Yes, for some anemias.
