Generic name
Methandrostenolone
Effective dosage:

It's used by athletes in a variety of sports with dosages ranging from 10 to 500 mg a day. Most individuals will make appreciable gains with dosages ranging from 15 to 40 mg a day, but in some cases dosages as low as 5 mg a day are beneficial. Most bodybuilders will keep the dosage at less than 50 mg a day, preferring to increase the dosage of their injectables instead. Concurrent administration of Oxymethonolone with Methandrostenolone is not recommended as their mechanism of action is very similar.

When using the injectable form, you can reduce the dosage by 40%. Since the oral form has only a 3 to 4.5 hour half-life, the recommendation is to take it in divided dosages throughout the day. The half-life is further reduced on intensive training days. Female bodybuilders and powerlifters have made enormous progress on this drug in dosages ranging from 10 to 20 mg per day, and some females have tolerated dosages as high as 40 mg without virilization effects.

Negative side effects

Water retention, aka moon face.
Hair loss.
Gynecomastia.
Severe acne on the upper back and shoulders.
With dosages above 50 mg a day, many athletes feel uncomfortable instead of the regular slight mood elevation associated with steroids.
Has some aromatization potential.
Dosages above 10 mg/day are associated with elevated liver enzymes, high blood pressure, and elevated heart rate.
Ten mg a day for 10 days is enough to suppress endogenous testosterone production by 30% to 40%.
Dosages above 50 mg/day are associated with steroid psychosis, and the same sensation of stomach fullness associated with Oxandrolone.

Drugs commonly stacked with Methandrostenolone

It's rumored that this drug would potentate any stack. Some underground steroid gurus have suggested that every single steroid stack should contain at least 10 mg of Dianabol. When the goals are mainly strength with minimal bodyweight increases, it's combined with either Oxandrolone or Stanozolol tablets. When the individual wants gains in both strength and mass, it is combined with either testosterone Enanthate, Nandrolone Decanoate, or Sustanon 250 in dosages above 250 mg/week. A stack of Parabolan (2-3 amps a week), Oxymetholone (2-3 tabs/day), and various forms of testosterone (1000 mg-plus a week) have been used with Methandrostenolone in the most radical bulking cycles.

Bootlegs and counterfeits

Has been the most frequently counterfeited of all anabolics. The Nerobol (Galenika, former Yugoslavia) and Gedeon (Richter, Hungary) brands have been discontinued for years but have surfaced as counterfeits on the European black market. Metaboline forte, supposedly from Canada, never existed; it is a repackaged multi-vitamin tablet. The bottle of Anabolin (Leiras, Finland), 100 tabs of 5-mg and 0.5% cream are discontinued. So is M�taboline (Desbergers, Canada) in 60 tabs of 2-mg or 500 tabs of 2-mg Nerobol from Gideon Richter is also no longer produced.
