What is oxymetholone?
Oxymetholone is a steroid that was originally developed to help patients with anemia caused by a certain health condition. Since then, athletes have been commonly used to support weight gain and stimulation of muscle growth when accompanied by strength training.

The use of oxymetholone is often successful in increasing the number of red blood cells in those suffering from anemia due to certain health conditions or those who have lost red blood cells under the disease such as cancer. For this purpose, this is useful and is considered relatively safe when accepted under the supervision of a doctor. There are some side effects that may include headache, weight gain, nausea, nausea, high blood pressure and reduced testosterone levels. This could lead to a reduction in libido.
Many SportsILA oxymetholone to increase muscle mass during training, but this is generally not recommended despite apparent efficiency.
