Oxymetholone Capsule (Each)

Oxymetholone Capsules are a prescription medication classified as an anabolic steroid. It is primarily used to treat certain types of anemia by stimulating red blood cell production. Additionally, it may be prescribed for other conditions involving muscle wasting or bone density loss when conventional treatments are insufficient. Due to its strong effects on muscle growth and strength, it is used under strict medical supervision, and misuse can lead to serious health issues.

Oxymetholone works by mimicking the effects of naturally occurring male hormones like testosterone. It increases protein synthesis within cells, which supports muscle growth and tissue repair. It also stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, improving oxygen transport throughout the body. These combined effects enhance physical strength, endurance, and overall energy levels, especially in individuals with blood-related disorders or severe muscle loss.

This medication should not be used by individuals with liver disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer, or heart problems. It is contraindicated in pregnant women and in people with known allergies to anabolic steroids. Careful monitoring is required in those with high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney disease. Long-term or high-dose use increases the risk of liver damage and cardiovascular complications, so it is essential to follow medical guidance strictly. Regular blood tests may be necessary to assess liver function and hormone levels during treatment.

Common side effects include nausea, headache, and changes in appetite. Users may also experience water retention, weight gain, and mood swings. Long-term or excessive use can lead to liver toxicity, elevated cholesterol levels, and increased blood pressure. Men may experience breast enlargement or reduced sperm production, while women may develop masculine traits such as deepened voice or excessive hair growth. Any unusual symptoms should be reported to a healthcare professional promptly to prevent complications.

Oxymetholone is not recommended during pregnancy, as it can cause serious harm to fetal development, including abnormal growth and hormonal disruptions. Women who are breastfeeding should avoid this medication, as it may pass into breast milk and affect the infant’s hormonal balance and development. Safer alternatives should be discussed with a healthcare provider for managing health conditions during these sensitive periods.

Store this medication at 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) and away from heat, moisture and light. Keep all medicine out of the reach of children. Throw away any unused medicine after the beyond use date. Do not flush unused medications or pour down a sink or drain.
