beta blockers and aas -- ok or not?

[athlete.03]

I know there are AAS receptors on cardiac tissue. Can AAS interact with beta blockers?

Anyone know anything about this issue? Where are the guys with medical knowledge?

Hey bro, This is my first post here. I take the beta blocker toporol xl for an arrthymia. I am 43 and have done several test cycles without a problem. I just had bloodwork done a week after the end of this last cycle of test/Turanabol and everything is normal other than elevated LDL Cholestrol.

I know there are anabolic androgenic steroids receptors on cardiac tissue. Can AAS interact with beta blockers?

No, there is no drug reaction. Your beta-blocker may actually help treat any AAS-induced hypertension.

If you do experience high blood pressure as a result of AAS, it is advisable that you do not use that steroid.

That is one of the issues with stacking so many, there are hundreds of formulations of the three basic steroids, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and nandralone, they may not all have the same effect on blood pressure on any one individual.

In general, I would agree. However, it depends on how much it raises your blood pressure. Having it raised to 140's/90's for the duration of an 8-12 weeks cycle is fine. And, if someone is normotensive (120's/<80) prior to using anabolic androgenic steroids, it is unlikely their pressure will rise more than 20 points systolic or diastolic.

It is those who already have uncontrolled BP prior to using AAS who is mostly affected by this issue.

Beta-blockers are used often for performers as it keeps your sympathetic nervous system calm(keeps heart beat from raising). These alone, with alcohol, or any diazapam drug like valium, klonapin, clonazapam, lorazapam, can make you simply stop breathing. With the AAS working in a different way(not directly affecting nervous system) you shouldn't have problems. This is, however, not to be messed around with or taken lightly. Talk to your doctor about what your taking. They can't disclose any information and if they do you can sue them till you've taken their first born, so my advice is to talk to your doctor who works with you on your heart. The Bata-blocker in your case is just to keep the heart normal, but steroids affect more than your muscles, so ask a professional. Seriously, this is something I know a ton about, but don't know you or your problem, and without a professional opinion, I wouldn't mix the two just because there isn't a ton of literature about it.

Be aware, your doctor will scold you and tell you how horrible steroids are, but you're there to see if there is an interaction, so don't let them lecture you. Get your answer and feel safe.

Hope that helped and hope everything works out for you.

Best wishes,
